This particle’s wobble could help spot cracks in the laws of physics

The Hindu  

One way physicists seek clues to unravel the mysteries of the universe is by smashing matter together and inspecting the debris. This is the first time in nearly 20 years scientists have measured this wobble, known as the tau magnetic moment, and it may help illuminate tantalising cracks emerging in the known laws of physics. Lead ions for near-miss physics …

The ultra-careful quest to find the shape of the electron’s charge

The Hindu  

Studies that test some physical property to an extreme precision are gaining in popularity these days because many physicists are intently looking for small chinks – too small for them to have noticed without a closer look – in a theory that is both powerful yet incomplete. In a new study published in Science, researchers from the University of Colorado, …

Explained | The decade-long search for a rare Higgs boson decay

The Hindu  

Last week, physicists working with the Large Hadron Collider particle-smasher at CERN, in Europe, reported that they had detected a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson particle and a photon. For example, this theory, called the Standard Model, says that a Higgs boson will decay to a Z boson and a photon 0.1% of the time. This means the …

Theory of everything: how progress in physics depends on asking the right questions

The Hindu  

When I began my undergraduate physics degree, “What is the theory of everything?” was a question that I heard often. Arguably, the question “What is the theory of everything?” reminds us that good science doesn’t have to start with the best questions. The assumption in asking “What is the theory of everything?” is that the Standard Model will one day …

The story so far: On April 7, researchers from Collider Detector at Fermilab Collaboration, in the U.S., announced, through a paper in Science, that they have made a precise measurement of the mass of the so-called W boson. The recent experiment at CDF, which measured the mass of the W boson as 80,433.5 +/- 9.4 Mev/c2, which is approximately 80 …

FOR Fermilab, the premier particle accelerator laboratory in Illinois, United States, April 7 seems to be a favourite date for coming up with bombshells that shake and threaten to topple the Standard Model of Particle Physics, an otherwise spectacularly successful theory that describes the universe in terms of fundamental particles and forces of nature.

Mysterious 'glue' holds planets, galaxies together. Search for elusive dark matter begins at CERN collider

India Today  

The world's most powerful particle accelerator that discovered the "God particle" is now hunting for what physicists call the ''glue" that holds our solar system, galaxies, and clusters of galaxies together — dark matter. "Dark matter seems to outweigh visible matter roughly six to one, making up about 27% of the universe," CERN says. The LHC will not only look …

Salon  

The model we have for understanding the universe's fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles' properties throws off the mechanics of the other particles, too. Our understanding of the fundamental particles, something known as the Standard Model of particle physics, is one of the most towering human achievements of the past …

THE new particle whose discovery was announced on July 4 at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research in Geneva is in all probability the highly elusive Higgs boson, which was being desperately sought by theoretical high-energy physicists for nearly four decades. It is only by measuring the characteristics of its decay via various final states into other subatomic particles according …
