The formal inauguration of the Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Michigan brought together distinguished speakers from a range of disciplines to look back on the achievements of phy...
Experiments on synthetic nuclei continue to explore a world that is very remote from our own experience. Recent studies at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna, near Moscow, report anot...
To satisfy their ever-increasing demand for more and affordable computing power, particle physics experiments are using clusters of off-the-shelf PCs. A recent workshop at Fermilab looked at the imp...
The ASACUSA collaboration has just published a determination of the antiproton charge and mass to an incredible six parts in a hundred million. How was this impressive precision achieved and why is ...
In October 2001, production of the specialised magnets that perform specific tasks, such as final focus, and injection and extraction of beams, was in full swing.
As well as the 20 nations of the CERN family, several other nations further afield are making major contributions to the laboratory's flagship Large Hadron Collider.
Renormalization was the breakthrough that made quantum field theory respectable in the late 1940s. Since then, renormalization procedures, particularly the renormalization group method, have remained ...
A new kind of X-ray polarimeter giving greatly improved sensitivity and based on methods developed for particle physics gives astronomers a new handle on X-ray measurement.
This year marks the centenary of the birth of Enrico Fermi, one of the giants of 20th-century science, and one of the last physicists to be both an accomplished experimentalist and an influential theo...
