These decays give special insight into the CKM matrix and are sensitive to non-standard model effects. In this review, we give a historical and theoretical introduction to penguins and a description of the various types of penguin processes: electromagnetic, electroweak, and gluonic. We review the experimental searches for penguin decays, including the measurements of the electromagnetic penguins b → sγ ∗ ′ and B → K γ and gluonic penguins B → Kπ, B+ → ωK+ and B → η K, and their implications for the Standard Model and New Physics. We conclude by exploring the future prospects for penguin physics. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION .................................... 3 History of Penguins ....................................

  • 8.962 General Relativity, Spring 2017 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Physics
    8.962 General Relativity, Spring 2017 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Physics Lectures by: Alan Guth Notes by: Andrew P. Turner May 26, 2017 1 Lecture 1 (Feb. 8, 2017) 1.1 Why general relativity? Why should we be interested in general relativity? (a) General relativity is the uniquely greatest triumph of analytic reasoning in all of science. Simultaneity is not well-defined in special relativity, and so Newton's laws of gravity become Ill-defined. Using only special relativity and the fact that Newton's theory of gravity works terrestrially, Einstein was able to produce what we now know as general relativity. (b) Understanding gravity has now become an important part of most considerations in funda- mental physics. Historically, it was easy to leave gravity out phenomenologically, because it is a factor of 1038 weaker than the other forces. If one tries to build a quantum field theory from general relativity, it fails to be renormalizable, unlike the quantum field theories for the other fundamental forces. Nowadays, gravity has become an integral part of attempts to extend the standard model. Gravity is also important in the field of cosmology, which became more prominent after the discovery of the cosmic microwave background, progress on calculations of big bang nucleosynthesis, and the introduction of inflationary cosmology. 1.2 Review of Special Relativity The basic assumption of special relativity is as follows: All laws of physics, including the statement that light travels at speed c, hold in any inertial coordinate system. Fur- thermore, any coordinate system that is moving at fixed velocity with respect to an inertial coordinate system is also inertial.

  • New Measurements of the Electron Magnetic Moment and the Fine Structure Constant
    S´eminaire Poincar´eXI (2007) 109 – 146 S´eminaire Poincar´e Probing a Single Isolated Electron: New Measurements of the Electron Magnetic Moment and the Fine Structure Constant Gerald Gabrielse Leverett Professor of Physics Harvard University Cambridge, MA 02138 1 Introduction For these measurements one electron is suspended for months at a time within a cylindrical Penning trap [1], a device that was invented long ago just for this purpose. The cylindrical Penning trap provides an electrostatic quadrupole potential for trapping and detecting a single electron [2]. At the same time, it provides a right, circular microwave cavity that controls the radiation field and density of states for the electron’s cyclotron motion [3]. Quantum jumps between Fock states of the one-electron cyclotron oscillator reveal the quantum limit of a cyclotron [4]. With a surrounding cavity inhibiting synchrotron radiation 140-fold, the jumps show as long as a 13 s Fock state lifetime, and a cyclotron in thermal equilibrium with 1.6 to 4.2 K blackbody photons. These disappear by 80 mK, a temperature 50 times lower than previously achieved with an isolated elementary particle. The cyclotron stays in its ground state until a resonant photon is injected. A quantum cyclotron offers a new route to measuring the electron magnetic moment and the fine structure constant. The use of electronic feedback is a key element in working with the one-electron quantum cyclotron. A one-electron oscillator is cooled from 5.2 K to 850 mK us- ing electronic feedback [5]. Novel quantum jump thermometry reveals a Boltzmann distribution of oscillator energies and directly measures the corresponding temper- ature.

  • David Olive: His Life and Work
    David Olive his life and work Edward Corrigan Department of Mathematics, University of York, YO10 5DD, UK Peter Goddard Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ 08540, USA St John's College, Cambridge, CB2 1TP, UK Abstract David Olive, who died in Barton, Cambridgeshire, on 7 November 2012, aged 75, was a theoretical physicist who made seminal contributions to the development of string theory and to our understanding of the structure of quantum field theory. In early work on S-matrix theory, he helped to provide the conceptual framework within which string theory was initially formulated. His work, with Gliozzi and Scherk, on supersymmetry in string theory made possible the whole idea of superstrings, now understood as the natural framework for string theory. Olive's pioneering insights about the duality between electric and magnetic objects in gauge theories were way ahead of their time; it took two decades before his bold and courageous duality conjectures began to be understood. Although somewhat quiet and reserved, he took delight in the company of others, generously sharing his emerging understanding of new ideas with students and colleagues. He was widely influential, not only through the depth and vision of his original work, but also because the clarity, simplicity and elegance of his expositions of new and difficult ideas and theories provided routes into emerging areas of research, both for students and for the theoretical physics community more generally. arXiv:2009.05849v1 [physics.hist-ph] 12 Sep 2020 [A version of section I Biography is to be published in the Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society.] I Biography Childhood David Olive was born on 16 April, 1937, somewhat prematurely, in a nursing home in Staines, near the family home in Scotts Avenue, Sunbury-on-Thames, Surrey.
