A sM*A*S*Hing CERN visit
On March 7, Alan Alda, the actor best known for playing medic Hawkeye Pierce on yesteryear’s TV series M*A*S*H, visited the home of the Large Hadron Collider, CERN. Continue reading
Daya Bay experiment makes key measurement, paves way for future discoveries
An international collaboration of physicists working on a neutrino experiment in southern China announced today they have made a difficult measurement scientists have been chasing for more than a decade. The results of the Daya Bay neutrino experiment ... Continue reading
Tevatron experiments see possible signs of the Higgs boson in favored region
Tevatron physicists told attendees of the Rencontres de Moriond conference this morning that they had found excesses in their data suggestive of a Higgs with a mass between 115-135 gigaelectronvolts. A few months ago, LHC physicists announced similar b... Continue reading
LHCb experiment squeezes the space for expected new physics
The LHCb collaboration set the Standard Model on its surest footing yet in results announced at the Rencontres de Moriond conference today. Continue reading
South Pole scientists seek neutrino hotspots to unravel cosmic mystery
Scientists at the IceCube experiment recently announced the results of their inquiry into whether two of the cosmos' greatest mysteries are related. Continue reading
March 2012 issue of symmetry available
Today marks the launch of a new era: Starting today symmetry magazine will be published once a month online and sent to subscribers in an easy-to-access email format. Continue reading
Fermilab’s DZero experiment weighs in on W boson mass
The DZero experiment at Fermilab's Tevatron collider made public today its most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson. Knowing the mass of this force-carrying elementary particle confirms the Standard Model of particle physics and puts constra... Continue reading
Scientists put detectors to the test, a few particles at a time
At the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, scientists from around the world line up to test new detector technologies that will help shape the future of particle physics. Whether experimenters need a few pions or lots of protons, the FTBF can deliver: It offe... Continue reading
