Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the results from a search for a rare phenomenon, the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos.

FERMILAB press release

$\sin^2 2\theta_{13}=0.1$ at 2.5$\sigma$ !

What are neutrinos? Where do they come from? How to detect them?
Neutrinos for all ages!

"The World Science Festival" es un gran evento de divulgación que se viene realizando desde el 2008. Con motivo del Congreso Nacional de Divulgación Científica, restransmitiremos los foros de física de partículas de la edición de 2010, comenzando la próxima semana con: Back to the Big Bang: Inside the Large Hadron Collider

In the last episode, 24 of season 4, one of the whiteboards of the Sheldon and Leonard apartment is displaying the famous plot of the CDF: Wjj bump, a possible signal of new physics at Tevatron which is now claimed to be at 4.1-sigma:



Could be nice to check what is the particle being used by Sheldon to explain the anomaly. However, I was unable to find one scene with this (Mail to admin AT gfif.udea.edu.co, if any suggestion). This was my best screenshot about:



We can see the formula for the transverse W mass. Check here for further details.

From ResonAAnces:

AMS-02 is up and running, and first events have already been twitted to the Earth. AMS is a full fledged particle detector attached to the ISS whose goal is to measure the cosmic ray spectra.

The first dark matter model that will survive when the other dark matter models will be shown to be false, have been formulated by Carlos Yaguna, a former undegraduate student of our Group: http://goo.gl/FnxI8

LinuxFR : With Linux and Git you've done two softwares that changed the computer world. How is it possible to have two gigantic success like these ? What is the difference between you and mere mortals ?
