Discovery Prospects at the Large Hadron Collider
Will scientists ever find the elusive Higgs particle, the last of the fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and postulated to play a major role in how fundamental particles get their masses?   view more (2006-04-25)

Research overturns accepted notion of neutron's electrical properties
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an offsetting negative charge at its outer edge.   view more (2007-09-18)

UCSB professor's paper on safety of large hadron collider to be published in Physical Review D
Particle colliders creating black holes that could devour the Earth. Sounds like a great Hollywood script.   view more (2008-06-30)

Simulations Illuminate Universe's First Twin Stars

CERN announces new start-up schedule for world's most powerful particle accelerator
Speaking at the 142nd session of the CERN Council today, the Organization's Director General Robert Aymar announced that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will start up in May 2008, taking the first steps towards studying physics at a new high-energy frontier.   view more (2007-06-25)

40 Years of Research with Synchrotron Radiation at DESY
On Wednesday, May 19, starting at 1.30 p.m., the DESY research center will celebrate the anniversary of a very special kind of light: For 40 years, scientists have been conducting research with so-called synchrotron radiation at DESY - i.e. light with exceptional properties generated at accelerators. "The first measurements with the light... view more... (2004-05-19)

Nobel laureate Burton Richter to speak about future of particle physics
Particle physics is about to transform our thinking once again. Experiments of the last 15 years suggest new forms of matter, new forces of nature and perhaps even new dimensions of space and time. Pinning down the new ideas will require more data from larger and more expensive machines-at a time when funding is more difficult than ever to secure.   view more (2007-02-16)

Physicists: After 30 years of study, rare particle confirms prediction
High-energy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those basic particles of atoms, protons and neutrons.   view more (2008-03-11)

Nuclear scientists eye future landfall on a second 'island of stability'
Modern-day scientific Magellans and Columbus's, exploring the uncharted seas at the fringes of the Periodic Table of the Elements, have landed on one long-sought island - the fabled Island of Stability, home of a new genre of superheavy chemical elements sought for more than three decades.   view more (2008-04-07)

Electrons defeat anthrax
Perhaps, bioterrorists will not be able to spread lethal bacteria of anthrax in envelopes all over the world. Siberian biologists and physics have thought up how to adapt electron accelerator that is usually used for sterilizing medical equipment for decontamination of letters. To optimize the power of the accelerator they calculated how many... view more... (2002-10-11)
