Why matter matters in the universe

Mar 28, 2008 | User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 50 vote(s) | pda version

A new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. The latest research findings, which involved significant contributions from physicists at the University of Melbourne, have been recently ...


Physicists: After 30 years of study, rare particle confirms prediction

Mar 10, 2008 | User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 55 vote(s) | pda version

High-energy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those basic particles of atoms, protons and neutrons.


A 'Golden Channel' for New Physics

Feb 15, 2008 | User rating: 4.1 / 5 after 59 vote(s) | pda version

A group of physicists has dubbed a particular particle decay, the decay of the Bs meson into a neutral kaon and neutral antikaon, as a “golden channel” for new physics, suggesting that probing and studying the decay could ...


Latest Supercomputer Calculations Support the Six-Quark Theory

Feb 11, 2008 | User rating: 4.5 / 5 after 65 vote(s) | pda version

A new calculation, reported in the January 25, 2008 issue of Physical Review Letters, confirms the six-quark theory of particle-anti-particle asymmetry. This is the first complete calculation of this phenomenon to ...


New form of matter-antimatter transformation observed for first time

Mar 13, 2007 | User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 67 vote(s) | pda version

For the first time, scientists of the BaBar experiment at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have observed the transition of one type of particle, the neutral D-meson, into ...


Particle X in rare decay could belong to a new physics model

Mar 07, 2007 | User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 99 vote(s) | pda version

A particle that may mediate the rare decay of a Sigma-plus hyperon appears to have close affiliations with a light Higgs boson found in one supersymmetric model—an interpretation suggesting unambiguous evidence for physics ...


Particle decay may point to New Physics

Oct 11, 2006 | User rating: 4.7 / 5 after 141 vote(s) | pda version

A tiny flaw has caught the attention of physicists: the Standard Model (SM) predicts that the B meson mixing phase should be measured at nearly the same result using two different classes of decay modes. However, ...


New Form of CP Violation Discovered

Sep 28, 2006 | User rating: 4.4 / 5 after 45 vote(s) | pda version

Finding something expected has brought researchers at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) one step closer to discovering the unexpected.


Physicists observe subatomic quick-change artist

Sep 25, 2006 | User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 73 vote(s) | pda version

It's taken 19 long years of painstaking, high-precision experiments, but it's finally official: Physicists have announced the observation of a subatomic particle known as the Bs (pronounced "B sub ...


Search for Rare Particle Decay Comes Up Short

Aug 01, 2006 | User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 25 vote(s) | pda version

Based on work performed at a large particle detector known as the BaBaR experiment, scientists announced recently that they do not see evidence to support theoretical predictions that an extremely rare particle ...


Inside BaBar's Control Room

Jul 18, 2006 | User rating: 4.8 / 5 after 6 vote(s) | pda version

Day and night, weekends, weekdays, and holidays, physicists from around the world take shifts in BaBar's Interaction Region 2 control room. The BaBar detector records the products of the positron-electron collisions ...


Physicists size up the 'unitarity triangle'

Jun 23, 2006 | User rating: 4.3 / 5 after 39 vote(s) | pda version

B factory experiments at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the USA and at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan have reached a new milestone in the quest to understand ...


Scientists present a precision measurement of a subtle dance between matter and antimatter

Apr 11, 2006 | User rating: 4.7 / 5 after 53 vote(s) | pda version

Scientists of the CDF collaboration at the DOE's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today the precision measurement of extremely rapid transitions between matter and antimatter.


What happened to the antimatter?

Mar 23, 2006 | User rating: 4.6 / 5 after 77 vote(s) | pda version

Scientists of the DZero collider detector collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have announced that their data on the properties of a subatomic particle, the B_s ...


Spin Structure of Protons and Neutrons

Oct 10, 2005 | User rating: 3.1 / 5 after 8 vote(s) | pda version

Normally, we think of building blocks as static objects. For instance, the brick and mortar used to build the local bank remain pretty much the same from the day it's built to the day it's torn down. But the ...
