Gino Bolla was an Italian scientist and the head of the Silicon Detector Facility at Fermilab. And he was a friend and a colleague. He died yesterday in a home accident. Below I remember him by…

800x600 Complementarity relation between CP-violating phase and neutrino mixing reactor angle     It should be a basic physics cause for neutrino mixing deviation from CP-…

The book "Anomaly! Collider Physics and the Quest for New Phenomena at Fermilab" is going to press as we speak, and its distribution in bookstores is foreseen for the beginning of November. In the…

The Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics offers 20 post-doctoral positions in experimental physics to foreigners with a PhD obtained no earlier than November 2008. So if have a PhD (in…

While I do not believe that this series of posts can be really useful to my younger colleagues, who will in a month have to participate in a tough selection for INFN researchers in Rome, I think…

800x600 New Physics from Regularities of the Many Standard Model Free Parameters Presented at ICHEP2016 LHC results show no new physics at available energies and support further the Standard Model…

As explained in the first installment of this series, these questions are a warm-up for my younger colleagues, who will in two months have to pass a tough exam to become INFN researchers. In…

The ICHEP conference in Chicago is drawing to a close, and although I did not have the pleasure to attend it (I was busy with real work, you know ;-) I think I can post here some commentary of a few…

The slope of a velocity-time graph is known to give the acceleration while the area under the graph speaks of the displacement of a body. This is some of the earliest physics students learn.…

So, by now we all know it - there is no 750 GeV resonance in LHC data. But will we ever learn the lesson ?The facts Let me start this post by recalling the bare facts, and a quick-and-dirty…
