  1. Synchrotron physics has been around for almost a century. Many large-scale synchrotron facilities are in operation around the world. The number of books on the topic is also very large.

    So, we decide to write something fresh and easy-going for undergraduate physics and engineering student.

    As time went on however, we realised just how deeply the concept of #synchrotron light is embedded in many physical concepts.

    Rather than being just a technical topic, synchrotron emission is truly a lens through which one can explore many phenomena of #light and #particles emission.

  3. RIP.

    "François Englert, a Belgian theoretical physicist, passed away on 18 June at the age of 93 in Uccle (Brussels, Belgium). […] The existence of the Brout-Englert-Higgs field was proved in 2012 with the discovery of its associated particle by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC. The following year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter Higgs."

  5. April, Hegseth: No mandatory flu vaccines.
    May: Only 40% of recruits "op-in" and get the flu vaccine.
    June: TX Air Force base residents see 160 confirmed cases of flu, one death unconfirmed.
    Today: All Lackland residents forced to get flu vaccine.

  7. Exotic #particles that could finally break the #StandardModel
    ‘Penguin’ decays from #CERN’s latest #LargeHadronCollider experiment hint at weird new #physics. It concerns the decay of particles called #Bmesons into other particles. The result, which has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters, is one of the last remaining anomalies for particle physicists, who look for new physics in the debris from proton-proton collisions that turn energy into matter.

  9. A strange ‘#neutrino force’ helped heal a crack in #particlephysics
    #Neutrinos and other #particles can produce a subtle force, relevant for precise measurements
    Effect not limited to neutrinos. Electrons and other particles could transmit similar forces. It’s counterintuitive, because those particles are not type commonly associated with transmission of forces, according to particle physicists’ well-established theory, called the #standardmodel.

  11. #Particles seen emerging from empty #space for first time
    By tracing the origins of an unusual, short-lived #particle, researchers have gathered some of the strongest evidence yet that mass can emerge from fluctuations in the vacuum.
    According to #quantum #chromodynamics (#QCD) – widely considered to be our best theory for describing the strong force, which binds quarks inside protons and neutrons – even a perfect vacuum isn’t truly empty.

  16. "Decades of weird experimental results appeared to support the existence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that would solve multiple mysteries. But recent experiments have killed hope of finding these phantoms, leaving physicists to wonder what might explain their anomalies."

  17. Deep in #Antarctic ice, these particles can answer basic questions about the universe
    #IceCube can’t directly see the enigmatic #neutrino #particles, but its thousands of sensors can detect what happens after they interact with matter. When they do, the neutrinos produce charged particles that travel through the ice at nearly the speed of light, creating a blue glow called Cherenkov radiation.

  18. You had me at world's most powerful particle accelerator and Big Bang.

    In the first few microseconds after the Big Bang, the Universe was in an extremely hot and dense state of matter known as quark–gluon plasma (QGP), which can be reproduced with high-energy collisions between heavy ions such as lead nuclei.

    On whether a quark–gluon plasma can be formed in proton–proton and proton–nucleus collisions:

    "This is the first time we have observed, for a large interval in momentum and for multiple species, this flow pattern in a subset of proton collisions in which an unusually large number of particles are produced. Our results support the hypothesis that an expanding system of quarks is present even when the size of the collision system is small.
