Read article 'Physicists and statisticians get technical in Durham'
Particle physicists and statisticians got together in Durham, UK, last March to discuss statistical techniques of relevance to particle and astroparticle physics analysis. Conference initiator Louis L...
Read article 'Muon magnetism study reveals new twist'
In the latest twist to the US Brookhaven laboratory's high-precision muon magnetism experiment, researchers announced in July a result slightly at odds with the Standard Model of particle physics.
Read article 'New dipole moment centre inaugurated'
A new laboratory inaugurated in May at the University of Sussex, UK, aims to shed light on matter-antimatter asymmetry by measuring the electric dipole moment of the neutron.
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 'Space-time symmetry is put to the test'
Symmetries underpin much of modern physics and, as a consequence, are sensitive probes for new phenomena. Neil Russell reports from a recent meeting held at Indiana University, where physicists discus...
Read article 'Rare kaon decay tests Standard Model'
An experiment at Long Island's Brookhaven laboratory has just reported a long-awaited result: the observation of only the second decay of a positive kaon into a positive pion accompanied by a neutrino...
Read article 'Team reports neutrinoless double beta decay'
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg, Germany, have reported evidence of neutrinoless double beta decay.
Read article 'ISOLDE tests the Standard Model'
Tests of the Standard Model of particle physics are largely the domain of high-energy particle accelerators.
Read article 'Fermilab launches Run II of Tevatron'
After detecting hints of the long-awaited Higgs particle, CERN's LEP electron-positron collider closed at the end of 2000 and is now being dismantled. The search for the Higgs - the missing link in ...
Read article 'Microeffect in muon magnetism'
A new precision measurement of the muon's magnetism during an experiment at Brookhaven has shown a tiny unexplained discrepancy.
