Precision measurement of W boson mass portends stricter limits for Higgs particle
Scientists of the DZero collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have achieved the world's most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson by a single experiment. Combined with other measurements, the reduced uncertainty of the W boson mass will lead to stricter bounds on the mass of the elusive Higgs... view more... (2009-03-12)
Latest generation lineal accelerator for radiotherapy
The Cancer Department at the la University of Navarra University Hospital has acquired a Siemens, latest-generation lineal accelerator. This is the first centre in Spain to install this advanced radiotherapy apparatus which is equipped with multilaminas, minimultilaminas and portal vision. view more (2005-05-17)
e-Science, fundamental physics and the GRID
Research into e-Science reached a milestone in the UK today [Thursday 25 April] when Gordon Brown, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, opened The National e-Science Centre in Scotland. The centre, run jointly by the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, will provide a focal point for the UK`s involvement in e-Science initiatives and integrate... view more... (2002-04-25)

The record-breaking performance of the Tevatron collider at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is pushing the search for dark matter, supersymmetric particles and extra dimensions to new limits. view more (2006-03-07)
Europe honours UK particle physics
Particle physicists in the UK received top honours at the recent International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics in Budapest, with the award of European Physical Society (EPS) Prizes. The prestigious High-Energy and Particle Physics Prize of the European Physical Society for 2001 was awarded to Professor Donald Perkins of the... view more... (2001-08-07)
World's biggest computing grid launched
The world's largest computing grid is ready to tackle mankind's biggest data challenge from the earth's most powerful accelerator. Today, three weeks after the first particle beams were injected into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid combines the power of more than 140 computer centers from 33 countries to analyze... view more...

Taking Their Science into Parliament
Searching for elusive sub atomic particles, unravelling the mysteries of the Moon, visualising the results of atom smashing experiments and researching the next generation of particle physics experiments - what do all of these have in common? The answer is that all of these cutting edge science projects, funded by the Particle Physics and... view more... (2003-03-14)
A microscope for Higgs bosons and squarks - The Physics Congress 2002
There is now agreement in Europe, Asia and the United States of America that the next major project in particle physics should be a world-wide linear electron-positron collider. Dr Phil Burrows of the University of Oxford will explain to the Institute of Physics Congress on Tuesday 9 April how this huge particle accelerator, 20-30 km long, will... view more... (2002-04-02)
Boston physicists celebrate first beam for Large Hadron Collider
Scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the 17-mile Large Hadron Collider. The LHC, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's most powerful particle accelerator. view more (2008-09-10)
CERN Director General Outlines Seven-point Strategy for European Laboratory
Geneva 18 June 2004. At the 128th session of CERN Council, held today under the chairmanship of Professor Enzo Iarocci, CERN Director General, Robert Aymar, outlined a seven-point scientific strategy for the Organization. Top of the list was completion of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) project with start-up on schedule in 2007. This was followed... view more... (2004-06-21)
UC Santa Barbara has key role in Large Hadron Collider project
Earlier today, some 300 feet below the Earth's surface, in a circular tunnel so extensive that it travels from Switzerland into France and back again, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva fired the first beams of protons that they hope will eventually produce... view more...

It Might Be... It Could Be... It Is !
Scientists of the CDF collaboration at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (September 25, 2006) that they have met the exacting standard to claim discovery of astonishingly rapid transitions between matter and antimatter: 3 trillion oscillations per second. view more (2006-09-26)
MINOS experiment sheds light on mystery of neutrino disappearance
An international collaboration of scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced the first results of a new neutrino experiment. view more (2006-03-31)
Time reversal in the real world
If time went backwards life would look like a video recording played in reverse - or would it? New findings demonstrate that this common assumption may not hold true. Experiments showing for the first time that time is not symmetrical are explained today by Dr John Fry from the University of Liverpool at the British Association Festival of... view more...

Long the Fixation of Physicists Worldwide, a Tiny Particle Is Found
After decades of intensive effort by both experimental and theoretical physicists worldwide, a tiny particle with no charge, a very low mass and a lifetime much shorter than a nanosecond, dubbed the "axion," has now been detected by the University at Buffalo physicist who first suggested its existence in a little-read paper as early as... view more...

Combined brake and accelerator car pedal
A PEDAL that works as both an accelerator and a brake will save lives if car makers adopt the design, according to Swedish inventor Sven Gustafsson. The idea sounds bizarre, but officials at the Swedish National Road Administration have already done extensive road tests and approved the device for use.... view more... (2002-01-09)
Tevatron Experiments Double-Team Higgs Boson
Scientists from the CDF and DZero collaborations at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab have combined Tevatron data from the two experiments to advance the quest for the long-sought Higgs boson. view more (2008-08-05)
UCSB researchers discover shape matters to macrophages
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have made a surprising discovery: phagocytosis depends more on particle shape than size. view more (2006-03-22)
Brown physicists play key role in single top quark discovery
Brown University physicists have played a key role in observing particle collisions that produce a single top quark, one of the fundamental constituents of matter.
