This is the first step towards the verification of the neutrino oscillation results given by the Super-Kamiokande last year.
Deep in a former Minnesota iron mine, scientists and government officials recently wielded pickaxes to chip away, at least symbolically, at the mysteries surrounding the subatomic particles known as n...
The major international focus of high-energy physics in odd-numbered years is the International Symposium on LeptonPhoton Interactions at High Energies, which took place this year on 9-14 August at ...
During August, work continued to establish circulating beams of nuclei in the two rings of Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.
On 15 July in Newport News, Virginia, Jefferson Lab's free-electron laser produced infrared light at a wavelength of 3.1µm and 1.72 kW average power, thereby exceeding the kilowatt design goal.
On 2 August, a decade after the initial commissioning at 45 GeV per beam, CERN's LEP storage ring has collided 100 GeV beams of electrons and positrons, giving a total energy of 200 GeV.
On 16 July, a beam of gold nuclei circulated one of the two rings of Brookhaven's Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider for the first time.
The BES II spectrometer at the Beijing electronpositron collider (BEPC) has completed a measurement of hadron production rates over the 25 GeV energy range which is valuable input for Standard Mod...
Through the Scandinavian CoDisCo project, CERN is helping to define management practice for large-scale distributed projects.
