Two days ago I discussed at ICFP 2012 the most recent results of the CMS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In the allotted time of my talk I could only cover few analyses, and I obviously chose some of the most interesting ones, so that was al ...

A new study has found that individuals taking cholesterol-lowering statin drugs are more likely than non-users to experience decreased energy, fatigue upon exertion, or both. The researchers suggest that these findings should be taken into account by do ...

... John Conway, had focused on the Higgs decay to a pair of tau leptons. To Conway's bewilderment , a small but nagging bump had indeed appeared in the invariant mass of two tau candidates in the data, corresponding to a Higgs mass of 160 GeV (right, in ...

I was going to talk about neutrinos today, as the results of MiniBoone looking at how muon neutrinos mix into electron neutrinos had just been published earlier this week, and wanted to write about CP violation and a possible 1-2eV right handed neutrino m ...
