Read article 'Heavy Flavour Physics – Theory and Experimental Results in Heavy Quark Physics'
A graduate text based on lectures originally presented at the 55th Scottish Universities Summer School in Physics, held at St Andrews in 2001.
Read article 'Fermilab experiment hints at double charm'
The SELEX experiment at Fermilab has announced three candidates for doubly charmed baryons.
Read article 'The B-ology of physics'
The physics of B particles, containing the fifth (b) quark, is now a major research focus. The first such particle was discovered at Fermilab exactly 25 years ago.
Read article 'Direct evidence seen for oscillations'
The Sun shines, just as described by our best theories of its thermonuclear furnace. Neutrinos oscillate - at least, electron-neutrinos change into another type.
Read article 'CERN workshop marks a transition'
In 1963, Nicola Cabibbo proposed a mechanism to describe transformations between up, down and strange quarks. Almost a decade later, Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa generalized quark mixing to ...
Read article 'CP violation enters a new era'
New results show that CP violation in the decays of particles containing heavy quarks is becoming precision physics.
Read article 'Mad about physics in Antananarivo'
The Malagasy capital of Antananarivo welcomed HEP-MAD '01, Madagascar's first conference on high-energy physics, at the end of September last year
Read article 'CP violation is measured precisely'
The problem of obtaining a precise measurement of one of the most elusive effects in particle physics has finally been overcome.
Read article 'How CP violation came to B'
Two major new experiments have provided the first strong indications of the delicate CP violation effect in a totally new domain - the decays of B mesons (containing the fifth or "b" quark).
Read article 'B-factories measure an eternal triangle'
New results from the "B factories" could help to explain why a universe made of matter emerged from a Big Bang that created equal amounts of matter and antimatter.
