DOE’s Intensity Frontier Workshop packed with ideas and people
As a postdoc, Giovanni Tassielli has the whole particle physics landscape to survey for the most stimulating future job prospects. The researcher from INFN in Italy feels a pull toward the most challenging experiments at the Intensity Frontier: those t... Continue reading
On neutrinos and nanoseconds: Physicists partner with professional timekeeper
When Demetrios Matsakis, the head of the U.S. Naval Observatory department that deals with measuring time, received an email from a Fermilab physicist in late September, he had immediate suspicions. The physicist asked if a two-way satellite transfer, ... Continue reading
D.C. workshop envisions the Intensity Frontier
At the Intensity Frontier, scientists use high energy beams and sensitive particle detectors to explore rare subatomic processes in search of answers to profound questions. More than 500 scientists are gathering this week to discuss the future role of ... Continue reading
Physicists talk turkey
Looking for some help with cooking your Thanksgiving feast this holiday? Here are a couple of ways that particle physics can lend a hand. Continue reading
Muppet scientists at the LHC
In the new movie The Muppets, released today, physics fans will cheer to see that bespectacled scientist Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and his harried assistant, Beaker, seem to have moved on from their careers at Muppet Labs to work on the ATLAS experiment at t... Continue reading
Tabletop ATLAS assembly, no hardhat required
Physicist Sascha Mehlhase may have missed the actual construction of the ATLAS detector at CERN, but he found another way to experience the joy of building it – a way reminiscent of his childhood and the contents of a particularly good toy box he onc... Continue reading
Favored Higgs hiding spot remains after most complete search yet
The CMS and ATLAS experiments at the Large Hadron Collider have backed the Standard Model Higgs boson, if it exists, into a corner with their first combined Higgs search result. Continue reading
Faster-than-light neutrino measurement withstands new test
The OPERA experiment’s surprising superluminal neutrino result is holding fast after a new measurement designed to eliminate a possible source of systematic error from their previous tests. Continue reading
