The ICARUS experiment in Gran Sasso Laboratory (where OPERA is also located) contradicts the results of his neighbor (they could not see any faster than light neutrino).

From The Economist: The message, which read "neutrino", was transcribed into a string of "0s" and "1s" using the standard code employed in digital communications. The beam was then tweaked so that a pulse created using a full bunch of protons corresponded to a "1", while one with no protons signalled a "0". The pulses were separated by 2.2 seconds and the message was repeated in cycle for about two hours.

At the receiving end, each "1" translated into an average of 0.8 neutrino events registered in the detector; a "0", naturally, translated into none. This was enough to reconstruct the message accurately.

Daya Bay experiment just announced the measurement of one of the last parameter of the oscillation interpretation of neutrino experiments: $\theta_{13}$. See for example the discussion in Résonaances.

The news of the day is the update on Higgs searches released by the LHC and Tevatron at the Moriond conference. See discussion at Résonaances

A new V-A theory approach... with tablets and pretty women. Not bad!.

Centre opens ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research
Instituto de Fisica Teorica (IFT-UNESP), the site of ICTP's new South American Institute for Fundamental Research ICTP has opened a regional branch in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to bring its unique blend of high-quality physics and mathematics education and high-level science meetings closer to scientists in South America.

The ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research is a regional centre for theoretical physics created in collaboration with the State University of Sao Paulo (UNESP) and the Sao Paulo Research Funding Agency (FAPESP). It is located on the campus of the Instituto de Fisica Teorica (IFT-UNESP).

Activities, which are modelled on those of ICTP, will begin in 2012 with international schools and workshops. The Institute also will have an active visitors' programme together with several postdoctoral and permanent research professor positions. Applications for these positions, as well as for scientific visits and proposals for 2013 activities, are available on the Institute's [Centre opens ICTP South American Institute for Fundamental Research

New measurements from LHCb studying charm quarks reveals a hint of CP violation. Could it be a signal of new physics?
