The names of the 315 scientists whose work Go to Your Recommendations » What’s This? | Don’t Show contributed to the paper, arranged in alphabetical order, occupied an entire page -- more than one-fifth the overall length of the report. Following this top-heavy opening, the paper concluded in essence that the scientists had failed to find what they were looking for. The particle accelerator used in the hunt for whimsically-named squarks and gluinos, hypothetical particles postulated by the popular but unproved theory of "supersymmetry," was the Fermilab Tevatron at Batavia, Ill. A conspicuous example of big science, this giant instrument was completed in 1983 as a $130 million upgrade of an existing accelerator. The Tevatron whirls counter-rotating bunches of protons and antiprotons around a ring four miles in circumference, smashing protons and antiprotons together at a combined energy of 1.8 trillion electron-volts. But accelerating particles is useless unless the results of their collisions can be observed and studied, and to do this, scientists associated with Fermilab built a gigantic accessory for the Tevatron: the C.D.F., for "Collider-Detector at Fermilab," which itself cost more than $65 million. The 315 scientists taking part in the "C.D.F. Collaboration" use this detector in somewhat the way a builder might use a succession of sieves to separate sand of varying degrees of coarseness. Instead of sand particles, however, the detector is rigged to record the passage of various kinds of elementary particles created by the collisions of protons and antiprotons.

  • Speed of Light and Rates of Clocks in the Space Generation Model of Gravitation, Part 1
    GravitationLab.com Speed of Light and Rates of Clocks in the Space Generation Model of Gravitation, Part 1 1 R. BENISH( ) (1) Eugene, Oregon, USA, [email protected] Abstract. — General Relativity’s Schwarzschild solution describes a spherically symmetric gravi- tational field as an utterly static thing. The Space Generation Model (SGM) describes it as an absolutely moving thing. The SGM nevertheless agrees equally well with observations made in the fields of the Earth and Sun, because it predicts almost ex- actly the same spacetime curvature. This success of the SGM motivates deepening the context—especially with regard to the fundamental concepts of motion. The roots of Einstein’s relativity theories thus receive critical examination. A particularly illumi- nating and widely applicable example is that of uniform rotation, which was used to build General Relativity (GR). Comparing Einstein’s logic to that of the SGM, the most significant difference concerns the interpretation of the readings of accelerom- eters and the rates of clocks. Where Einstein infers relativity of motion and space- time symmetry, it is argued to be more logical to infer absoluteness of motion and spacetime asymmetry. This approach leads to reassessments of the essential nature of matter, time, and the dimensionality of space, which lead in turn to some novel cos- mological consequences. Special emphasis is given to the model’s deviations from standard predictions inside matter, which have never been tested, but could be tested by conducting a simple experiment.

  • Curating the Collider: Using Place to Engage Museum Visitors with Particle Physics
    Science Museum Group Journal Curating the collider: using place to engage museum visitors with particle physics Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Alison Boyle, Harry Cliff 10-09-2014 Cite as 10.15180; 140207 Research Curating the collider: using place to engage museum visitors with particle physics Published in Autumn 2014, Issue 02 Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/140207 Abstract CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, the world’s largest particle physics facility, provides museological opportunities and challenges. Visitor interest in cutting-edge physics, with its high media profile, is tempered by anxiety about understanding complex content. The topic does not readily lend itself to traditional museum showcase-dominated displays: the technology of modern particle physics is overwhelmingly large, while the phenomena under investigation are invisible. For Collider, a major temporary exhibition, the Science Museum adopted a ‘visit to CERN’ approach, recreating several of the laboratory’s spaces. We explore the effectiveness of this approach, at a time when historical studies of scientific laboratories and museum reconstructions of spaces are subject to renewed interest. Component DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/140207/001 Keywords Science Museum, Collider, Large Hadron Collider, CERN, particle physics, place, space, re-creation, room set, museum Introduction Collider: step inside the world’s greatest experiment ran at the Science Museum from November 2013–May 2014 and is touring internationally until 2017. The exhibition covers the work of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the world’s largest particle physics facility. Strategically, the subject matter had obvious appeal for the Science Museum, with its long term ambitions to tackle complex scientific topics, attract more adult visitors, and raise its international profile (Science Museum, 2012).

  • Particle Fever
    ABRAMORAMA and BOND360 Presents PARTICLE FEVER A documentary film by Mark Levinson and David Kaplan In theaters beginning March 5, 2014 Runtime: 99 minutes www.particlefever.com/ Press Materials Available At: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i0eihi330kkzhx1/gEyeME8Cgy Press Contact: BOND Strategy and Influence / Brooke Medansky 212-354-2384 / [email protected] LOGLINE: Particle Fever follows the inside story of six brilliant scientists seeking to unravel the mysteries of the universe, documenting the successes and setbacks in the planet’s most significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough. SHORT SYNOPSIS: Imagine being able to watch as Edison turned on the first light bulb, or as Franklin received his first jolt of electricity. For the first time, a film gives audiences a front row seat to a significant and inspiring scientific breakthrough as it happens. Particle Fever follows six brilliant scientists during the launch of the Large Hadron Collider, marking the start-up of the biggest and most expensive experiment in the history of the planet, pushing the edge of human innovation. As they seek to unravel the mysteries of the universe, 10,000 scientists from over 100 countries joined forces in pursuit of a single goal: to recreate conditions that existed just moments after the Big Bang and find the Higgs boson, potentially explaining the origin of all matter. But our heroes confront an even bigger challenge: have we reached our limit in understanding why we exist? Directed by Mark Levinson, a physicist turned filmmaker, from the inspiration and initiative of producer David Kaplan and masterfully edited by Walter Murch (Apocalypse Now, The English Patient, The Godfather trilogy), Particle Fever is a celebration of discovery, revealing the very human stories behind this epic machine.

  • Daily Newsletter – Saturday, 25 July Flavour Physics and Fundamental
    Daily Newsletter – Saturday, 25 July In the boiling heat of Vienna we keep going on with the EPS conference, exciting talks and results. Here are today’s highlights. Top and Electroweak Physics The first morning session discusses recent measurements of top quark couplings to Flavour Physics and other elementary particles, its Fundamental Symmetries polarization properties and also subtle The Standard Model has a very specific issues such as how the top quark is flavour structure describing the sensitive to color flow effects of the interactions of quarks and leptons. We strong nuclear force. The unique will hear about direct measurements of capabilities of the LHCb experiment to the unitarity triangle angle gamma/phi_3, make measurements of jets containing the least constrained quark mixing heavy quarks in the forward direction are parameter. Then, we will have theoretical also discussed. The second session gives contributions on extending the gauge an exciting overview on physics prospects group, supersymmetric models and with future colliders. A new circular searching for New Physics using so-called collider with a 100 km ring located close unitarity triangle fits. Future experiments to Geneva, a new collider using the will be presented, as well as new physics tunnel of the LHC and a new Linear signatures at very low energies: Collider that could be constructed in permanent electric dipole moments of Japan are some of the possibilities under leptons and hadrons, precision studies of discussion. neutron decay, hyperfine splitting in antihydrogen, neutron-antineutron oscillations. Detector R&D and Data Handling Among others, LHCb will show its Higgs and New Physics upgrade plans and its high-level trigger.
