CERN Courier dates back to August 1959, when the first issue appeared, consisting of eight black-and-white pages. Since then it has seen many changes in design and layout, leading to the current full-colour editions of more than 50 pages on average. It went on the web for the High luminosity: first time in October 1998, when IOP Publishing took over the production work. Now, we have taken another step forward with this digital edition, which provides yet another means to access the content beyond the web the heat is on and print editions, which continue as before. Back in 1959, the first issue reported on progress towards the start of CERN’s first proton synchrotron. This current issue includes a report from the physics frontier as seen by the ATLAS experiment at the laboratory’s current flagship, the LHC, as well as a look at work that is under way to get the most from this remarkable machine in future. Particle physics has changed a great deal since 1959 and this is reflected in the article on the emergence of QCD, the theory of the strong interaction, in the early 1970s.

Ewa Rondio from the National P Center for Nuclear Research (NCBJ) explains the nature of neutrinos, the measurements taken by the Super-Kamiokande detector, and the involvement of Polish scientists in the project.

EWA RONDIO: Literally translated, the word come from space and the neutrinos created on Earth? “neutrino” means “little neutral one.” The name was Neutrinos arriving from space are almost as abundant first suggested when the existence of neutrinos was as photons in the cosmic background radiation, but proposed to patch up the law of conservation of en- their energies are so small that we’re unable to detect ergy. It had turned out that without postulating their them. We can’t see them, even though there are so existence we could not explain why the spectrum of many of them. We can only observe higher-energy energy in beta decay is continuous, whereas two-body neutrinos, for example those arriving from the Sun. decay should give a single constant value. Back then, At first glance, they do not differ in any way from that postulate was considered very risky, because it those made on Earth. However, they have somewhat was believed that such particles would be impossible different energies. Also, those arriving from space are to observe. Experimental physicists have nowadays predominantly neutrinos, whereas those we produce managed that, although it took them quite a long time. on Earth produce are chiefly antineutrinos.

It is little known that THE algorithm was independently discovered by Bernie Alder, Stan Frankel and Victor Lewinson. Quoting Alder: ..we started out with a configuration, a solid like order configuration, and then jiggled the particles according to the pulse rate distribution. And that is, in fact, known now as the Monte Carlo Method—it was presumably independently developed at Los Alamos by Teller, Metropolis, and Rosenbluth. They actually got all the credit. My guess is we did it first at Cal Tech. It's not that difficult to come up with that algorithm, which, by the way, I think is one of, if not THE, most powerful algorithms Actually, In a footnote of the original paper by Metropolis et al. they credited Alder, Frankel and Lewinson on this, but this fact has been almost forgotten over the years. Furthermore Alder et al. did not give a general formulation for the algorithm but only a specialized version for hard spheres."

But with suitable conditions, e.g. low density and/or high temperature, electrons and ions will unbind and we obtain a plasma, a state of matter of which we became increasingly aware in the 20th century, and which pervades our universe near and far. There are also many applications of plasma physics: chip etching, TV screens, torches, propulsion, fusion (through magnetic or inertial confinement), astrophysics and space physics, and laser physics, to cite just a few. At the crossroads of electrodynamics, continuum physics, kinetic theory and nonlinear physics, plasma physics enjoys an abundance of riches. Actually, so much that we can only cover a fraction of its history in this limited volume. The history of plasma physics presented here covers mostly the period from 1950 to 2000. The issue is focussed both on fundamentals and on applications in controlled fusion through magnetic confinement, which in turn raises a host of fundamental and interesting questions in various areas.

  • Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments 1 Introduction 2
    Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments Mark Thomson Cavendish Laboratory Department of Physics JJ Thomson Avenue Cambridge, CB3 0HE United Kingdom 1 Introduction In the last ten years the study of the quantum mechanical e®ect of neutrino os- cillations, which arises due to the mixing of the weak eigenstates fºe; º¹; º¿ g and the mass eigenstates fº1; º2; º3g, has revolutionised our understanding of neutrinos. Until recently, this understanding was dominated by experimental observations of at- mospheric [1, 2, 3] and solar neutrino [4, 5, 6] oscillations. These measurements have been of great importance. However, the use of naturally occuring neutrino sources is not su±cient to determine fully the flavour mixing parameters in the neutrino sector. For this reason, many of the current and next generation of neutrino experiments are based on high intensity accelerator generated neutrino beams. The ¯rst generation of these long-baseline (LBL) neutrino oscillation experiments, K2K, MINOS and CNGS, are the main subject of this review. The next generation of LBL experiments, T2K and NOºA, are also discussed. 2 Theoretical Background For two neutrino weak eigenstates fº®; º¯g related to two mass eigenstates fºi; ºjg, by a single mixing angle θij, it is simple to show that the survival probability of a neutrino of energy Eº and flavour ® after propagating a distance L through the vacuum is à ! 2 2 2 2 1:27¢mji(eV )L(km) P (º® ! º®) = 1 ¡ sin 2θij sin ; (1) Eº(GeV) 2 2 2 where ¢mji is the di®erence of the squares of the neutrino masses, mj ¡ mi .

Washington, D.C. 20858 Dear Dr. Krebs: The FESAC is pleased to be able to complete its response to your charge of October 9, 1998, in regard to … “leading a community assessment of the restructured program thus far, including recommendations for further redirection given projected flat budgets for fusion. With this assessment as background, I would like your recommendations as to the proof-of-principle experiments now under review, as well as your recommendations regarding the balance of the program between tokamak and non-tokamak physics, and between magnetic and inertial fusion energy. Working with the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES), please develop goals and metrics to use in making your recommendations. I would also welcome any other recommendations on program content, emphasis, or balance.” In discussion with Dr. N. A. Davies, Director of OFES, it was agreed to frame the sub-charges as: · Recommend a balance between MFE and IFE; · Recommend priorities in the MFE program; · Recommend priorities in the IFE program; and · Recommend a course of action for the three proof-of-principle (POP) proposals. During the past year there has been a considerable amount of activity which helped us reach our conclusions. The FESAC has visited a number of fusion sites and has heard extensive presentations on the program.

  • The T2K Experiment Daniel I
    The T2K Experiment Daniel I. Scully University of Warwick, Department of Physics, Coventry. UK Abstract. T2K is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment built to make precision measurements of q13, q23 and 2 Dm 32. It achieves this by utilising an off-axis, predominantly nm , neutrino beam from J-PARC to Super-Kamiokande, and a near detector complex which constrains the beam’s direction, flux, composition and energy. To date T2K has published nm -disappearance and ne-appearance results, the latter excluding q13 = 0 at over 3s and therefore constituting first evidence for ne-appearance in a nm beam. In addition to oscillation physics, the on-axis (INGRID) and off-axis (ND280) near detectors provide the capability for a broad neutrino-nucleus interaction physics programme at neutrino energies below 1GeV. Keywords: T2K, ND280, neutrino, oscillations, cross sections PACS: 14.60.Lm, 13.15.+g T2K OVERVIEW The T2K experiment [1], based in Japan, is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment built to make precision 2 measurements of q13, q23 and Dm 32. The first stage of the experiment is a neutrino beam generated at the J-PARC proton accelerator facility. 30 GeV protons are collided with a graphite target and three magnetic horns focus the resulting positive pions and kaons down a 110m decay tunnel. These decay in flight to produce a beam of predominantly nm , though some n m (≈ 6%), ne (≈ 1%) and ne (< 1%) are also produced (Figure 1a)[2]. (a) The contribution of each neutrino flavour to the flux through (b) The effect on the neutrino energy spectrum of moving off the ND280.

The HEP program at Virginia Tech supported by this grant is organized into three tasks: A for theory (Profs. Tatsu Takeuchi and Djordje Minic), B for heavy flavor physics with the Belle and Belle II experiments (Prof. Leo Piilonen), and N for neutrino physics (Profs. Jonathan Link and Piilonen). There are several other HEP faculty members at Virginia Tech who were not supported by this grant through April 30, 2012 with whom we collaborated. Prof. Patrick Huber works in neutrino phenomenology and is supported by a separate ECRA grant from DOE. Prof. Eric Sharpe col- laborates with Minic and Takeuchi and is supported by the NSF. Prof. Camillo Mariani joined Virginia Tech in August 2012 as our newest neutrino experimentalist. Prof. Bruce Vogelaar is another neutrino experimentalist supported by the NSF; he collaborated with the late Prof.
