Physics

Two days ago I showed how the measurements produced in the course of the last decade have allowed us to "zoom into" the parameter space of the Standard Model, pinpointing the W boson, top quark, and…

The Standard Model has some gaps and is unable to explain phenomena like dark matter or gravitational interaction between particles. Some physicists are seeking what they call "New Physics",…

The CDF and DZERO experiments recently produced a combination of their precision measurements of the W boson mass, and proceeded to include the LEP II results to obtain a "world average" of that very…

Today I received news of an interesting measurement of angular distributions of the decay products in the rare decay of the B meson to  a K* and a muon pair - one of the specialties of the LHCb…

Since 1935, when Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger created his famous thought experiment about a cat that was both alive and dead, physicists have tried to create large scale systems to test how…

I reported two days ago on the new measurements by the CMS Collaboration of the decay of B hadrons into muon pairs, revealed at the opening of the EPS 2013 conference in Stockholm and in a preprint.…

Today I am quite happy to report of a new groundbreaking result from the CMS collaboration at the CERN LHC - the experiment to which I devote 100% of my research time. We published overnight a report…

When we want to combine several estimates of a physical quantity, to obtain a more precise one that accounts for all inputs in the correct way, we routinely rely to the weighted average: we take each…

When we want to combine several estimates of a physical quantity into a more precise one that accounts for all in the correct way, we routinely rely to the weighted average: we take each of the N…
