IBEX: Glimpses of the Interstellar Material Beyond our Solar System
http://youtu.be/uXfoAYqhGVE A great magnetic bubble surrounds the solar system as it cruises through the galaxy. The sun pumps the inside of the bubble full of solar particles that stream out to the edge until they collide with the material that fills the rest of the galaxy, at a complex boundary called the heliosheath. On the […]
From nothing to something
January 31, 2012
discrete integrable systems Abstract Chinese ancient sage Laozi said ‘Dao sheng yi, yi sheng er, er sheng san, san sheng wanwu, • • •’ that means something even everything comes from ‘nothing’ via ‘Dao’. In this paper, various discrete integrable models, including the known discrete Schwarzian KdV, KP, BKP, CKP, special Viallet equations and many […]
A Historical Profile of the Higgs Boson
January 31, 2012
John Ellis, Mary K. Gaillard, Dimitri V. Nanopoulos The Higgs boson was postulated in 1964, and phenomenological studies of its possible production and decays started in the early 1970s, followed by studies of its possible production in e+ e-, pbar p and pp collisions, in particular. Until recently, the most sensitive searches for the Higgs […]
Update on Searches for New Physics in CMS
January 31, 2012
SPEAKER: Eva Halkiadakis We present an update on a number of searches for New Physics, including SUSY and Exotica, based on the recent LHC data, up to the full statistics of ~5/fb recorded by the CMS experiment in 2011. (Video in CDS: Press here) Read more: indico.cern.ch Read also: Lazy photon among the missing in exotic LHC […]
Solar Neutrinos in 2011
January 31, 2012
Alvaro Chavarria I give an overview of the recent developments in the solar neutrino field. I focus on the Borexino detector, which has uncovered the solar neutrino spectrum below 5 MeV, providing new tests and confirmation for solar neutrino oscillations. I report on the updated measurements of the 8B solar neutrino flux by water Cherenkov […]
