Haiyan Gao, nuclear physicist and professor, will join the lab as associate lab director for nuclear and particle physicsUPTON, NY – Haiyan Gao, currently the Henry W. Newson Professor Emeritus of Physics at Duke University, will join the…

Analyzing the mountains of data generated by the Large Hadron Collider at the European CERN laboratory takes so long that even computers need coffee. Or rather, Coffea — Columnar Object Framework for Effective Analysis. A package in the…

Newswise - LOS ALAMOS, New Mexico, January 11, 2021—Experimental and theoretical scientists seeking an opportunity to pursue research in neutron scattering, dynamic materials, isotope production, and applied and basic nuclear physics…

Imagine this: a stationary object such as a vase suddenly explodes, sending fragments flying. Given the final energies and momentum of the fragments, can you determine the mass of the object before it shattered? Dave Fish introduces…

Jason Heeris, a physicist and signal processing engineer in southeastern Australia, went semi-viral in mid-September 2019 for a tweet about how he tried to put his 3-year-old son to sleep with a lecture on the Standard Model of…

Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider produce about one million gigabytes of data every second. Even after reduction and compression, the data accumulated in just one hour at the LHC is similar to the volume of data that Facebook…

Physicists in China are on the verge of "vacuum breaking" - a phenomenon created by lasers of unprecedented power that physically rip particles out of empty space, showing that matter and energy are interchangeable, as Albert Einstein…

North America's largest particle physics project is taking its first steps, and CU Boulder is involved. Our understanding of the universe may soon change thanks to the efforts of a thousand scientists around the world, including two from…

A four-muon candidate event in the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The muon/anti-muon... tracks are highlighted in red because long-lived muons travel farther than any other unstable particle.…
