Continuing my unexpected coverage of the folks at Fermilab this week, Fermilab last week and a Higgs Boson mention a month ago, I bring you the latest in the hunt for everyone’s favorite shy particle…the Higgs Boson. Scientists knew from previous measurements that the Higgs boson must weigh between 114 and 185 GeV/c2–the units that [...]
Damn those guys over at Fermilab are making hay while the LHC is down, huh? First the top quark discovered and now an accurate (within 0.05%) measurement of the W boson mass? Sweet. While those guys were busy with that, I posted on a blog…puts everything into perspective. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Fermi [...]
Scientists at Fermilab have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks, a 1 in 20 billion find. This discovery confirms important parameters of particle physics, including the total number of quarks. Previously, top quarks had only been observed when produced by the strong nuclear force. That interaction leads to the production of pairs of [...]
Europe’s particle physics lab, Cern, is losing ground rapidly in the race to discover the elusive Higgs boson, or “God particle”, its US rival claims. The particle, whose existence has been predicted by theoreticians, would help to explain why matter has mass. Finding the Higgs is a major goal of Cern’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). [...]
This is a blog...of a person...that sucks at writing. Think of it as Techmeme written by a retard...except without all the hugging.
