Why does our universe seem to be made almost entirely of matter, with barely any antimatter in sight?  Join us as we dive in this podcast episode of Early Morning Coffee at CERN (Emc2) into the fascinating world of LHCb, the LHC's beauty experiment, with two leading experimentalists, Yasmine Amhis and Patrick Koppenburg. We explore how the LHCb experiment is probing CP violation to studying hadrons containing b and c quarks and preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC era. Discover what makes LHCb unique—its asymmetric design and its remarkable success in identifying new hadrons.

This month, our guest is Dr Sam Gregson, better known as YouTube's Bad Boy of Science. Formerly a Cavendish particle physicist working on the LHCb experiment at CERN, Sam found that he enjoyed finding ways to engage non-specialist audiences with fundamental physics more than submitting himself to peer-review and moved into science communication. The founder of LHComedy, CERN's first ever comedy show, he now runs science education shows that have played in venues as diverse as the Royal Institution and The Green Man Festival. His Hunting the Higgs talk was recently performed for hundreds of school students here at the Cavendish, and has been seen by tens of thousands around the world. Alongside this, he blogs, podcasts, and regularly posts videos to YouTube covering current scientific stories and in-depth breakdowns of complex particle physics. Today, we'll talk about what drove him to look for the most fundamental building blocks of the universe, why he now subjects himself to audiences of teenagers, and how he feels particle physics research can make a better case for itself… Stay with us!Useful linksCheck Sam's website The Bad Boy of Science and his YouTube channel: Welcome to the Bad Boy of Science YT channel!To learn more about the LHCb experiment, check the CERN website: LHCb |CERNLHComedy, CERN's 1st ever comedy show founded by Sam in 2013 , is still available online: LHComedyShare and join the conversationHelp us get better by taking our quick survey.

Our guests today come from very different walks of life and have been following widely different paths, which have both led them here to Cambridge and the Cavendish. More than just location, it's clear that our guests have a lot in common and a lot to share. Ugandan contemporary artist, dancer and researcher, Robert Ssempijja, is the third Cavendish Arts Science Fellow at Girton College, a programme that creates collective encounters between art and science, that explores the world, our humanity and our place in the world. His work explores things that spoken language cannot always explain, and that are too difficult to talk about out loud. Harry Cliff is a particle physicist working on the LHCb experiment, a huge particle detector buried 100 metres underground at CERN in Switzerland, to study the basic building blocks of our universe, in search of answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics.He is also a recognised author of popular science books, and a former curator at the Science Museum in London. Ssempijja and Harry have met in Cambridge as part of Ssempijja's fellowship, and have instantly recognised a common curiosity, and a desire to continuously question the world around them. So it's very logical that we are welcoming them both today to the podcast, to expand upon their journeys with us, and discuss their shared questions and approaches between art and physics.Useful linksExplore Ssempijja's work: Robert Ssempijja – Dance, Life and Philosophy Harry Cliff's website has details about his books, research and outreach works.The annual Cavendish Arts Science Fellowship is delivered in partnership with Girton College, thanks to the vision and generous support of Una Ryan.

Ever heard of a beauty quark? How about a glueball? Physics is full of weird particles that leave many of us scratching our heads. But these tiny particles make up everything in the quantum world and in us and are the basis of the fundamental scientific theory called The Standard Model. But it doesn't explain everything. It can't account for dark matter or dark energy, for example. We find out whether new physics experiments might force us to rewrite the Standard Model. Plus, we discuss a NASA proposal to fly spacecraft close to the sun in search of new physics. Guests: Phil Plait – Aka the Bad Astronomer, former astronomer on Hubble, teacher, lecturer and debunker of conspiracy theories. He is also the author of a new book “Under Alien Skies: A Sightseer's Guide to the Universe.” Harry Cliff – Particle physicist at the University of Cambridge who works on the LHCb experiment at the largest particle physics laboratory in the world, CERN.

Experimental physicist at CERN and acclaimed science presenter Harry Cliff offers an eye-opening account of the inexplicable phenomena that science has only recently glimpsed, and that could transform our understanding of the fundamental nature of reality.Something strange is going on in the cosmos. Scientists are uncovering a catalogue of weird phenomena that simply can't be explained by our long-established theories of the universe. Particles with unbelievable energies are bursting from beneath the Antarctic ice.  Unknown forces seem to be tugging on the basic building blocks of matter. Stars are flying away from us far faster than anyone can explain.  After decades of fruitless searching, could we finally be catching glimpses of a profound new view of our physical world? Or are we being fooled by cruel tricks of the data? In Space Oddities, Harry Cliff, a physicist who does cutting-edge work on the Large Hadron Collider, provides a riveting look at the universe's most confounding puzzles.  In a journey that spans continents, from telescopes perched high above the Atacama Desert to the subterranean caverns of state-of-the-art particle colliders to balloons hovering over the frozen icesheets of the South Pole, he meets the men and women hunting for answers—who have staked their careers and reputations on the uncertain promise of new physics. The result is a mind-expanding, of-the-moment look at the fields of physics and cosmology as they transform before us.  With wonder, clarity, and a dose of humor, Cliff investigates the question: Are these anomalies accidents of nature, or could they be pointing us toward vast, hidden worlds?Harry Cliff is a particle physicist based at the University of Cambridge and carries out research with the LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. He was a curator at the Science Museum, London for seven years and regularly gives public lectures and makes TV and radio appearances. His 2015 TED talk "Have We Reached the End of Physics?" has been viewed nearly 3 million times.Buy the book from Wellington Square Bookshop - ​https://www.wellingtonsquarebooks.com/book/9780385549035

In 1981, Richard Feynman gave a keynote that proposed simulating physics with computers. We've come a long way with the resulting quantum computers, and you may have heard about business use cases for them. But how much progress has been made in using the machines to understand the universe? Who better to ask than Dr. Harry Cliff from the Large Hadron Collider? He discusses how quantum computers can simulate particle interactions or handle the mind-boggling amounts of data generated at CERN. We also dive into his new book, Space Oddities. Join Host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat with Harry Cliff from Cambridge and the LHCb experiment.  For more on Harry Cliff's work, visit www.harrycliff.co.uk/.  Space Oddities is available beginning March 26, 2024, wherever books are sold.  CERN's paper on using quantum computing: https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03236.  Visit Protiviti at www.protiviti.com/US-en/technology-consulting/quantum-computing-services to learn more about how Protiviti is helping organizations get post-quantum ready.  Follow host Konstantinos Karagiannis on all socials: @KonstantHacker and follow Protiviti Technology on LinkedIn and Twitter: @ProtivitiTech.  Questions and comments are welcome!   Theme song by David Schwartz, copyright 2021.   The views expressed by the participants of this program are their own and do not represent the views of, nor are they endorsed by, Protiviti Inc., The Post-Quantum World, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, shareholders, or subsidiaries.  None of the content should be considered investment advice, as an offer or solicitation of an offer to buy or sell, or as an endorsement of any company, security, fund, or other securities or non-securities offering.

Eines der Rätsel der Kosmologie ist das Verhältnis von Materie zu Anti-Materie und warum es im Weltall mehr Materie als Anti-Materie gibt. Und man weiß, dass das Standardmodell der Physik zwar für unsere üblichen Energiebereiche gilt aber in der Dimension des Universums nicht alles erklärt. Um diese Widersprüche aufzudecken hat das CERN mit dem LHCB einen Detektor im Betrieb, der diese Grenzen der Physik ausloten und neue Erkenntnisse liefern soll.

Two members of the LHCb collaboration talk about their success in finding tetraquarks and pentaquarks

En Atapuerca se ha presentado la cara del primer europeo, una parte del pómulo, la mandíbula superior y el diente de un homínido que vivió hace entre 1,2 y 1,4 millones de años en la sierra burgalesa. Los restos no se han podido atribuir a ninguna especie, sólo al género Homo. Es muy probable que este nuevo fósil de la Sima del Elefante pertenezca a una de las primeras poblaciones que colonizaron Europa. Con testimonios de Eudald Carbonell, José María Bermúdez de Castro y Juan Luis Arsuaga, codirectores de las excavaciones, y Rosa Huguet, coordinadora de los trabajos en la Sima del elefante. La célula es la unidad básica de la vida. Se estima que el cuerpo humano contiene entre 30.000 y 40.000 millones, sin contar los microorganismos que forman parte de nuestra microbiota y cuyo número es todavía mucho mayor. Todas descienden de un óvulo fecundado, y contienen por tanto la misma información genética, pero cada una expresa solamente una parte del genoma de forma que mientras unas se especializan en transmitir el impulso nervioso, otras se encargan de almacenar grasa, defendernos contra patógenos o marcar el ritmo del corazón. Al menos hay 500 tipos celulares distintos, aunque todavía existe mucho desconocimiento en cuanto al número total de células, sus características moleculares, su función y su situación en el organismo. Ese es precisamente el objetivo del consorcio internacional Atlas Celular Humano, para comprender la salud humana y diagnosticar, controlar y tratar las enfermedades. Hemos entrevistado a Cecilia Domínguez Conde, coautora de un reciente estudio del Wellcome Sanger, de la Universidad de Cambridge, sobre poblaciones de células inmunitarias. Con José Antonio López Guerrero hemos comentado la séptima ola de COVID 19 en la que nos encontramos y las últimas novedades sobre la viruela del mono. El doctor Pedro Gargantilla nos ha contado como una enfermedad neurológica degenerativa que sufrió Maurice Ravel influyó en la composición del famoso bolero que lleva su nombre. Hemos informado del comienzo de una nueva ronda de funcionamiento a su máxima potencia del LHC, después de una parada técnica de tres años; del descubrimiento en el LHCb de tres nuevas partículas "exóticas" (un nuevo tipo de pentaquark y el primer par de tetraquarks de la historia), de que los seres vivos han desempeñado un papel clave en la formación de casi la mitad de las especies minerales de la Tierra, mientras que el agua es responsable de más del 80 % de la diversidad mineral, según sendos estudios liderados por el Instituto Carnegie de Washington; y de que la expansión del anticiclón de las Azores está provocando las condiciones más secas en la península Ibérica de los últimos 1.200 años, según un modelo publicado en Nature Geoscience que apunta como responsable a la acción humana. Sergio Villalba nos ha informado del desarrollo de un oleogel saludable en el Instituto de Agroquímica y Tecnología de Alimentos del CSIC que sustituye a las grasas sólidas tradicionales (mantequilla, margarina) en la elaboración de productos de bollería y confitería. Con testimonios de Teresa Sanz, coordinadora del estudio. Fernando Blasco nos ha hecho una breve semblanza de los cuatro galardonados con la medalla Fields de matemáticas, considerada el premio Nobel de esta disciplina científica: el francés Hugo Duminil-Copin, el estadounidense de origen coreano June Huh, el británico James Maynard y la ucraniana Maryna Viazovska, la segunda mujer que recibe este premio. Con Lluis Montoliu hemos analizado los graves problemas que sufren algunas razas de perros que han sido seleccionadas por lo extravagantes que eran, muchas con deformaciones y enfermedades que afectan a la calidad y expectativa de vida de los animales.

Euroopan hiukkastutkimuskeskus CERNissä oleva LHC on maailman suurin ja tehokkain laite atomimaailman yksityiskohtien tutkimiseksi. Protonit kiitävät 27 kilometriä pitkän hiukkaskiihdyttimen sisällä lähes valon nopeudella ja niitä törmäytetään toisiinsa neljän kerrostalon kokoisen tutkimuslaitteen sisällä. Herkät ilmaisimet havaitsevat törmäyksissä syntyviä uusia hiukkasia. Eräs merkittävimmistä löydöistä on mystinen Higgsin hiukkasen. Hiukkastörmäyksissä tilanne on vähän sama kuin silmänräpäys alkuräjähdyksen jälkeen. Silloin maailmankaikkeudessa oli ainetta ja antiainetta, jotka tuhosivat toisiaan, mutta jostain kumman syystä ainetta oli hieman enemmän ja siksi esimerkiksi me olemme täällä. Törmäysten avulla LHCb-kokeella voidaan yrittää löytää syytä siihen, miksi aineissa oli tämä epäsuhta. Pian LHC tahkoaa tuloksia vieläkin tehokkaammin, kun se hyrähtää nyt keväällä uudelleen käyntiin viritettynä. Edessä on vielä lisää parannuksia, mutta fyysikoiden mielessä on myös aivan uusi laite, satakilometrinen monsteri atomien särkemiseen yhä pienemmiksi osiksi. Toimittaja Jari Mäkinen vieraili CERNissä helmikuussa ja tapasi siellä useita tutkijoita sekä insinöörejä. Ohjelmassa mukana ovat mm. Antti Ollila, Rende Steerenberg, Mikko Karppinen ja Richard Jacobsson.

Harry Cliff is a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge working on the LHCb experiment, a huge particle detector buried 100 metres underground at CERN near Geneva. He is a member of an international team of around 1400 physicists, engineers and computer scientists who are using LHCb to study the basic building blocks of our universe, in search of answers to some of the biggest questions in modern physics. He also spends a big chunk of his time sharing his love of physics with the public. His first popular science book, How To Make An Apple Pie From Scratch, which will be published in August 2021. From 2012 to 2018 he held a joint post between Cambridge and the Science Museum in London, where he curated two major exhibitions: Collider (2013) and The Sun (2018). He has given a large number of public talks, including at TED and the Royal Institution, and made numerous appearances on television, radio and podcasts.

Stephen Wolfram answers questions from his viewers about the history of science and technology as part of an unscripted livestream series, also available on YouTube here: https://wolfr.am/youtube-sw-qa Questions include: What is the history of black holes discovery? - Is gravitoelectromagnetism sufficient to get black holes with event horizon or do you need the full GR framework to get them? - Ernst Mach has a great book on history of mechanics (reading at the moment). The whole development of General relativity is very German until like Hawking and Chandrasekhar. ​Did you ever meet Stephen Hawking or Chandrasekhar? - Is there an instance or phenomenon where an instrument uses a theory to test or advance that theory... is there a something like Godels incompleteness theory that applies to the instruments in physics? - What is the history of UFO observations? - There was a new physics announcement from CERN this week. something about a new kind of force. did you catch it Stephen? "The LHCb results strengthen hints of a violation of lepton flavour universality"

Hovorilo sa tomu vojna policajtov. No zdá sa, že spontánne na nej nemuselo byť nič: naznačuje to rozhodnutie Krajského súdu o prepustení policajtov z tímu Očistec. Vladimír Pčolinský, bývalý šéf SIS, nemal byť žiadnou obeťou policajnej pomsty, sám mal vojnu policajtov naštartovať. Čo sa teda dialo a čo ukazuje súd? Tomáš Prokopčák sa pýta Romana Cuprika.

Niežeby som jej rozumel, to asi málokto, ale možno ste už niekde počuli, že naša fyzika nefunguje. Teda... ona funguje perfektne, akurát vieme, že je nesprávna. A vieme to preto, že štandardný model nedokáže vysvetliť viaceré fenomény, ktoré vo vesmíre pozorujeme. A ešte sa aj nedá dobre zladiť s teóriou relativity.

Občas sa na úplnom začiatku ukrývajú fakty. Zdá sa, že to môže platiť aj o biblickom príbehu o Sodome a Gomore. Inšpiráciou totiž mohol byť zánik starovekého mesta na brehu rieku Jordán, nad ktorým možno vybuchlo vesmírne teleso. Tento týždeň sa v podcaste Zoom obzrieme za biblickým príbehom Sodomy a Gomory, zistíme, aký obväz na popáleniny vyvinul českí vedci a vydáme sa za zvláštnym signálom z jadra našej galaxie. Krátke správy z vedy: Fyzici hovoria o ďalších stopách novej fyziky. Nové výsledky z detektora LHCb v CERNe ukazujú fenomén, ktorý sa nedá vysvetliť štandardným modelom. Kvark b sa totiž rozpadá iným pomerom, ako predpovedá táto teória. Smerom dovnútra slnečnej sústavy letí kométa, zrejme najväčšia, akú sme kedy objavili. Astronómovia odhadujú, že teleso môže mať až 200 kilometrov a pochádza z Oortovho mraku. Dobrou správou je, že sa k Zemi nedostane bližšie ako na vzdialenosť Saturna. Ak raz objavíme mimozemskú inteligenciu, zrejme bude umelá. Myslí si to britský astrofyzik Martin Rees, ktorý argumentuje, že umelá inteligencia je prirodzeným vývojovým krokom inteligencie. Dodáva, že asi nebudeme mať to šťastie, že zachytíme mimozemskú inteligenciu v tom krátkom okamihu, keď mala biologické telá. Transplantácie zvieracích orgánov ľuďom sa zase o kúsok priblížili. Lekári dočasne pripojili obličku z prasaťa pacientovi a sledovali, ako začala fungovať. Oblička pochádzala z geneticky upraveného zvieraťa, aby telo človeka orgán okamžite neodmietlo. – Všetky podcasty denníka SME si môžete vypočuť na jednom mieste na podcasty.sme.sk. – Ak máte pre nás spätnú väzbu, odkaz alebo nápad, napíšte nám na podcasty@sme.sk – Všetky podcasty denníka SME nájdete na sme.sk/podcasty – Podporte vznik podcastu Zoom a kúpte si digitálne predplatné SME.sk na sme.sk/podcast – Odoberajte aj denný newsletter SME.sk s najdôležitejšími správami na sme.sk/suhrnsme – Ďakujeme, že počúvate podcast Zoom.

Hovorilo sa tomu vojna policajtov. No zdá sa, že spontánne na nej nemuselo byť nič: naznačuje to rozhodnutie Krajského súdu o prepustení policajtov z tímu Očistec. Vladimír Pčolinský, bývalý šéf SIS, nemal byť žiadnou obeťou policajnej pomsty, sám mal vojnu policajtov naštartovať. Čo sa teda dialo a čo ukazuje súd? Tomáš Prokopčák sa pýta Romana Cuprika. Zdroj zvukov: FB Zuzana Čaputová, TV Markíza Odporúčanie: Ľudia mávajú rôzne čudné záľuby a tou mojou je aj časticová fyzika. Niežeby som jej rozumel, to asi málokto, ale možno ste už niekde počuli, že naša fyzika nefunguje. Teda... ona funguje perfektne, akurát vieme, že je nesprávna. A vieme to preto, že štandardný model nedokáže vysvetliť viaceré fenomény, ktoré vo vesmíre pozorujeme. A ešte sa aj nedá dobre zladiť s teóriou relativity. Preto sú všetci tak posadnutí hľadaním novej fyziky a zdá sa, že Veľký hadrónový urýchľovač na čosi narazil: experiment LHCb vidí rozpad mezónov B inak, ako hovorí predpoveď.

Dr. Harry Cliff is an LHCb particle physicist, Cavendish Fellow, and the writer of an excellent book about subatomic physics called “How to Bake an Apple Pie From Scratch: In Search of the Recipe of Our Universe.” Our discussion today circled around the big question of: what exactly IS a subatomic particle? We also go deep into free will vs. determinism, how biology is only one part physics, and by the end of it, we had a much clearer picture of what it is that physicists actually mean when they speak of “fields,” “particles,” and “entanglement.” Support the podcast by becoming a Patron @DemystifySci ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ https://www.patreon.com/demystifysci ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª ªº¬˚∆≤≥≤≥ Join the mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S​ ≤≥≤≥∆˚¬ºª Check our main channel, @DemystifyingScience for in depth-investigations: https://youtu.be/1OCL5Lq8m6s Dr. Harry Cliff: https://www.harrycliff.co.uk https://twitter.com/harryvcliff PODCAST INFO: Blog: http://demystifyingscience.com/blog Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3uhn7J1 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/39IDJBD RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rss Donate: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSwag: https://bit.ly/2PXdC2y SOCIAL: - Twitter: https://twitter.com/demystifysci - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/demystifyingscience - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/demystifysci/ MUSIC: Shilo Delay: https://soundcloud.com/laterisgone --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/demystifying-science/support

Ciao miei cari affezionati! Oggi parliamo di...nuova fisica! Una quinta forza oppure una nuova particella? In maniera un po' provocatoria questa domanda esplora il fatto che ci sono buoni segnali da parte di un esperimento ospitato al Cern dal rivelatore LHCb e che ci racconta di dati che si allontanerebbero dalle predizioni del cosiddetto Modello Standard delle particelle elementari. Quindi ho provato ad affrontare l'argomento con un'esperta, una scienziata che è al lavoro proprio underground nei lavoratori di Ginevra per capire quanto possiamo sbilanciarci in questo momento e quanta emozione si può cogliere in chi da anni sta seguendo accuratamente questi esperimenti!SEGUIMI IN INSTAGRAM!https://www.instagram.com/profvincenzoschettiniSEGUIMI IN TWITCHhttps://www.twitch.tv/lafisicachecipiaceSEGUIMI IN TIKTOKhttps://vm.tiktok.com/JJ5uM8mISCRIVITI AL MIO 2° CANALE YOUTUBE “la matematica che ci piace”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFssvxGgmt4jfCqV5GDeDnQISCRIVITI AL MIO 3° CANALE YOUTUBE “la musica che ci piace”https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn7-yO1sU8QRTJt-KRCb5jwSOSTIENI IL MIO CANALE!fai una donazione ❤️https://www.paypal.me/lafisicachecipiaceOFFRIMI UN CAFFÈhttps://ko-fi.com/lafisicachecipiaceSEGUIMI IN TELEGRAMhttps://t.me/lafisicachecipiaceCERCA I VIDEO CHE TI SERVONO in TELEGRAM con questo BOT@ilvideochecipiace_botVISITA IL MIO STORE

I’ve been a professional physicist since the 1980’s, and not once over the course of my career has a particle-physics experiment produced a completely surprising new result. We’ve discovered particles (top quark, Higgs boson) and even phenomena (neutrino masses), but nothing we hadn’t either predicted or could easily accommodate within the Standard Model of particle physics. That might have changed just this month, with possible confirmations of two “anomalies” in particle-physics measurements involving muons. They might be new physics, or they might just go away. I talk about what it might mean, and (more importantly) how we should feel about the likelihood that these results really do imply physics beyond the Standard Model.Support Mindscape on Patreon.Here are some relevant references for the first result, from LHCb at CERN, that B-mesons are seemingly decaying at different rates into electrons and muons:arxiv paperCERN CourierScientific AmericanResonaancesAnd here are some references for the other result, from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab, on the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon:arxiv paperFermilab articleLattice QCD calculationQuantaArs TechnicaResonaancesMoving the g-2 ring from Brookhaven to Fermilab

Los Muones son el hermano mediano de la familia de los leptones, pero este pequeño amigo está dejando mal al mejor modelo que tenemos de la naturaleza; el modelo estándar (o eso es lo que pensábamos). Dos experimentos; g-2 en el Fermi Lab y la anomalía de Rk del Muon B en el LHCb. Dos experimento que podrían cambiar la física. ¿Qué es un Muon? ¿Que es el factor G? ¿Qué es una partícula virtual? ¿Qué es y de que se trata el experimento g-2 y anomalía Rk?.

On Wednesday the EU’s EMA and UK’s JCVI announced a suspected correlation between vaccination and an extremely rare type of blood clot. Prof Sabine Eichinger is a co-author of a new paper suggesting a link with vaccination or the immune response to Covid vaccination and suggests the name VIPIT for the condition. One of her patients died at the end of February having presented with a rare combination of symptoms – blood clots and a low blood platelet count. Sabine tells Roland the dots they have managed to join in the story so far. Scientists at Fermilab in the USA posted four papers and announced an exciting development in particle physics that might lift the curtain on science beyond the Standard Model. Their measurement of something known as g-2 (“gee minus two”, just fyi), by measuring with phenomenal accuracy the magnetic properties of muons flying round in circles confirms a 20-year old attempt at a similar value by colleagues at Brookhaven. At the time, it was breathtaking but suspicious. Muons, rather like heavy electrons, don’t quite behave as the Standard Model might have us believe, hinting at fields and possibly particles or forces hitherto unknown. Dr. Harry Cliffe – a member of the LHCb team who found something similarly weird two weeks ago - describes the finding and the level of excitement amongst theorists worldwide. Superfans around the world have learned to speak fluent Klingon, a fictional language originating from Star Trek. In a quest to understand the science behind these languages often dismissed as gobbledygook, Gaia Vince has been speaking to some of the linguists responsible for creating these languages. It’s time for her to relax the tongue, loosen those jaw muscles and wrap her head around the scientific building blocks embedded in language and what languages like Klingon tell us about prehistoric forms of communication. Also, gossip often has negative connotations, but does get a bad rap? Might it serve a useful function and should we think of gossiping as an advanced social skill rather than a personality defect? CrowdScience listener Jayogi thinks it might be useful, and has asked CrowdScience to dig into the reasons why we find it so hard to resist salacious stories. Datshiane Navanayagam meets a scientist who views gossip as a key evolutionary adaption - as humans started to live in bigger cooperative groups, gossiping was a way of bonding and establishing acceptable group behaviour as well as cementing reputations of trustworthiness. Datshiane heads to the local park to catch some real gossiping in action and finds out that whilst people like to gossip they don’t consider themselves gossipers. Datshi asks a team of scientists what information we are most keen to share and glean in these interactions and if there is such a thing as ‘good’ and ‘bad’ gossip. She hears that in some group settings – like in the workplace - gossip can enhance cooperation and limit free-riders, but that it can also have a more self-serving dark side. Datshiane finds out if our stone-age gossipy minds are fit to operate in the world of mass communication and social media – is our fixation on celebrities related to our being hard wired to gossip?

As he describes in the journal Scientific Reports his work confirms what scientists have long suspected - that the famous gesture - often portrayed in films - is a measure of size and strength - allowing communication in the dense, tropical forests in which the animals live.

This week, the inside story of how scientists working at Cern's Large Hadron Collider found tantalising new evidence which could mean we have to rethink what we know about the universe. And an update on the situation for Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh after a deadly fire swept through a refugee camp there. Welcome to episode 9 of The Conversation Weekly, the world explained by experts.In late March, particle physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a massive particle accelerator at Cern in Geneva, announced, tentatively, that they'd had a bit of a breakthrough. If what they think they've seen is proven correct, it could mean evidence for brand new physics – perhaps even a new force of nature. We get the inside story from Harry Cliff, a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge who works on the LHCb, one of Cern's four giant experiments. And Celine Boehm, professor and head of physics at the University of Sydney, explains the bigger picture of where this all fits into the world of theoretical physics, including the ongoing hunt for dark matter.In our second story, Rubayat Jesmin, a PhD candidate at Binghamton University in New York explains why the situation got even more precarious situation for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, after a fire ripped through one of the camps where many were living in Bangladesh.And Nehal El-Hadi, science and technology editor at The Conversation in Toronto, gives us some recommended reading.

Nella puntata 349 Marco e Valeria ci raccontano della nuova scoperta dell'esperimento LHCb che suggerisce l'esistenza dei leptoquark e finalmente viola il modello standard. In prossimità della Pasqua Andrea, Silvia e Ilaria ci parlano poi del cioccolato, dalle origini all'uso in cucina. Tornati in studio dopo l'immancabile barza brutta inventata ad hoc da Marco parliamo di influenza aviaria e di a cosa sono serviti esperimenti controversi svolti una decina di anni fa nei laboratori olandesi su H5N1.

Sightseers and social media scrollers have flocked to the slopes of Fagradalsfjall, a volcano erupting 40 kilometres west of the Icelandic capital Reykjavik. Having produced less than 1 square kilometre of lava this eruption could be deemed relatively minor, allowing bystanders to get up close and personal. Among the hubbub, you might also spot Dr Evgenia Ilyinskaya from University of Leeds, just one of the researchers measuring and observing the event from an alarmingly small distance. Her interest is more in the invisible toxic gases and trace elements being emitted from one of the deepest magma eruptions in recent times than the more cinematic molten rock. This week scientists working on results from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN announced intriguing evidence (NB “evidence” – not yet a definite discovery) of physics beyond our current understanding. Everything we can detect directly in the universe is made from a few basic building blocks, fundamental particles. These particles are governed by four universal fundamental forces. Our best understanding of these forces and particles are sewn together in the Standard Model of particle physics. Since the 1970s this model has been able to explain most of our experimental results, but not all. Professor Gudrun Hiller from Technische Universität Dortmund has been theorizing as to what sort of experiments might lead to evidence of where the model might be incomplete. And this week, she has reason to feel a little bit proud. As she and her fellow member of the LHCb consortium, Harry Cliff, explain, a mysterious asymmetry in the way certain quarks – beauty quarks – have been seen to decay could be pointing at a deeper, more sophisticated, picture of the nature of the universe. Theorists are theorizing all around the world: could this be a new class of particle called a “leptoquark” that mediates a whole new type of force? The new results have been submitted for publication in the journal Nature, but have also been made public online in what is known as a “preprint”. Science publication has, for hundreds of years, been governed by peer-review. This process has prevented the wider community of scientists from accessing new scientific reports and papers unless vetted by a smaller number of fellow experts in the field. But this hasn’t been the case for all disciplines. “Preprints”, uncorrected proofs, have for some decades played a role in the publication process of physics and mathematics. In these fields, on the whole, lives are not at risk if mistakes get through to publication, but over the past year the practice of posting proofs to preprint servers is now common in the biomedical and life sciences, to accommodate the deluge of research being conducted on Covid-19. Might this be a problem? Or could it demonstrate the value of preprints? A new paper from Jonny Coates (also a preprint) and colleagues has looked at whether much changes on a biomedical or life-science preprint as it travels through peer-review towards conventional publication. Animals experience all the colds, stomach pains, headaches, parasites, and general illnesses that humans do. But unlike us, animals can’t just grab a painkiller off the shelf at the supermarket to cure it. They don’t have a pharmacy to browse… or at least, not the sort that we’d recognise. Listener Andrew Chen got in touch to ask whether animals use any kind of medicine themselves. After all, our own drugs largely come from the plants and minerals found in wild habitats. So perhaps animals themselves are using medicines they find in nature. Anand Jagatia speaks with the primate researcher who stumbled across a chimp chewing on a bitter leaf 35 years ago, Professor Mike Huffman, whose observations opened up a whole new field of research. We discover why plants contain the medicinal compounds they do, and how butterflies with brains no bigger than a pin-head are still able to select and use medicine to protect their young. We think of medicine as a human invention - but it turns out that we’ve learnt a lot of what we know from copying the birds, bugs and beasts.

Terence & Juan discuss the recent news from CERN (03/24/2021) which could potentially violate Lepton Universality. This could imply problems with the current version of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, and more importantly, a chance to discover New Physics.

Andrey Golutvin is a Professor at Imperial College London, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics. He is a globally renowned specialist in the area of elementary particle physics. Under his direct guidance, a series of studies of third-generation lepton features were conducted, and B-meson oscillations were discovered. A large value of B-meson oscillations opens up great opportunities for examining the phenomenon of CP-parity non-preservation, which resulted in creating specialized B-mezon factories and installing LHCb on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN).

Andrey Golutvin is a Professor at Imperial College London, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics. He is a globally renowned specialist in the area of elementary particle physics. Under his direct guidance, a series of studies of third-generation lepton features were conducted, and B-meson oscillations were discovered. A large value of B-meson oscillations opens up great opportunities for examining the phenomenon of CP-parity non-preservation, which resulted in creating specialized B-mezon factories and installing LHCb on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN). He made a significant contribution to developing the methodologies of fast, radiation-protected scintillation electromagnetic calorimeters. Under his direct guidance, the LHCb unit was successfully launched, and several most exact results of checking a standard model in heavy quark decays globally were obtained. He is a regular speaker at international conferences, including with his plenary reports at the largest, so-called Rochester Conferences on High Energy Physics in 2000 and 2010. He gave lectures at the Department of Elementary Particle Physics at MIPT and currently gives lectures at Imperial College London as a professor for the Department of High Energy Physics.Andrey focused on searches for new fundamental particles which are very weakly-interacting. Motivated by the lack of evidence for new heavy particles, he proposed the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment to search for light, new particles in 2013 and this is currently his main research activity.The SHiP experiment has a window of opportunity to lead to fundamental findings on a timescale of < 10 years. The potential discovery of New Physics by SHiP may lead to a complete change of direction in high energy physics and, in particular, may prove that newhigh energy colliders are not needed to uncover the origin of neutrino masses, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the Universe.SHiP has instigated a number of pioneering developments that make it possible to construct a large-scale, background-free, high-precision detector operating in beam-dump mode with the full power of the SPS accelerator at CERN. This puts SHiP in an outstanding position world-wide to make a break-through in the domain of particle masses and couplings that are not accessible to the energy and precision frontier experiments, and potentially find the particles that lead to neutrino masses and oscillations, explain baryon asymmetry of the Universe, and shed new light on the properties of dark matter.SHiP has received a large amount of attention from the particle physics community ever since its inception. In the 2019-2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, Dark Matter and Feebly Interacting Particles took a prominent position for the first time, and SHiP was ranked as a mature and competitive project ready for implementation. The preparatory evaluation of experiments complementary to the high energy frontier, singled out SHiP and the associated Beam Dump Facility (BDF) as a major potential player in the search for Feebly Interacting Particles.SHiP is currently a collaboration of 53 institutes and 4 associated institutes, in total representing 18 countries, CERN and JINR. Currently, SHiP's central challenge consists in finding the resources required to take advantage of the time-limited opportunity that exists to launch SHiP's data-taking before the end of this decade. The total cost of the project is about 220 MCHF, including 150 MCHF for the Beam Dump Facility and 70 MCHF for the SHiP detector.CERN committees have endorsed the SHiP science case. In order to obtain the seal of approval to the project and start the construction of the BDF, three key concepts have to be proven with prototypes, namely the ultra-high efficiency for slow extraction and delivery of the SPS beam, the extreme conditions for the high-density proton target, and the unprecedented background suppression through the use of an active muon shield. The CERN Medium Term Plan of this year allocates sufficient resources to complete the R&D studies of the beam line and the target. The construction of the muon shield prototype and study of its performance is led by the group from Imperial College London and requires funding at the level of ~3 MCHF during next 2-3 years

Dr. Weiping Yu is back with another segment of Science and U. The physicist offers his insights on LHCb's discovery of a new class of particles. If every elementary particle has already been discovered, why are we still trying to discover new particles? Dr. Yu asks. How many types of particles are there? Plus, what does Dr. Yu think about Luc Montagnier's idea of DNA teleportation? Jeff Deist calls in to comment on the news surrounding the pandemic and the constant shifting in the opinions of health experts. The president of the Mises Institute also comments on the news that 32% of American households missed their July housing payments. Why are people largely indifferent to economic tampering that's been going on? Is there a false sense of security?

In questa puntata estiva Andrea e Valeria dopo aver ricordato il compleanno dell'indimenticata pecora Dolly ci parlano di varie notizie di attualità. Si comincia da un aggiornamento sul Lyssavirus identificato in un gatto ad Arezzo, sul virus dell'Ebola in Congo con un'epidemia finita dopo 2 anni e una seconda da poco iniziata e sul nuovo ceppo di Influenza suina identificato in Cina.Giuliana intervista Manuela Travaglio, entomologa,dell'Ufficio Tecnico di INDIA Industrie Chimiche, un'azienda che produce e commercializza insetticidi e rodenticidi registrati per l'impiego in ambito civile. Con lei parleremo, per l’appunto, di insetticidi: perché ne esistono tanti? Come funzionano? Tornati in studio arriva l'immancabile momento della barza per poi passare al fantastico mondo dei quark. Dopo un ripasso sulla nomenclatura e su cosa sono i quark si entra nel vivo della novità: l'esperimento LHCb ha infatti scoperto una nuova particella composta da quattro quark charm.Dopo qualche riflessione sul progetto del nuovo acceleratore di 100 km si conclude la puntata 312, che Andrea tiene a dedicare alla Ferrari 312T.

"Whenever you ask people about physics they feel like it's so remote. I believe physics should be intriguing for everybody," says Dr. Weiping Yu as he returns to the show to discuss the LHCb physicists' measurements of B mesons particles and their search for a more complete theory beyond the standard model. Dr. Yu also comments on the latest news surrounding the gigantic ITER fusion project in France. Plus, senior editor of Mises Institute Ryan McMaken calls in to discuss the ongoing riots and protests as well as General Mattis' comments on President Trump.

This week, Jon Foust and Michelle Casbon bring you another fascinating interview from our time at Next! Michelle and special guest Amanda were able to catch up with Paco Nathan of Derwen AI to talk about his experience at Next and learn what Derwen is doing to advance AI. Paco and Derwen have been working extensively on ways developer relations can be enhanced by machine learning. Along with O’Reilly Media, Derwen just completed three surveys, called ABC (AI, Big Data, and Cloud), to look at the adoption of AI and the cloud around the world. The particular interest in these studies is a comparison between countries who have been using AI, Big Data, and Cloud for years and countries who are just beginning to get involved. One of the most interesting things they learned is how much budget companies are allocating to machine learning projects. They also noticed that more and more large enterprises are moving, at least partially, to the cloud. One of the challenges Paco noticed was the difference between machine learning projects in testing versus how they act once they go live. Here, developers come across bias, ethical, and safety issues. Good data governance polices can help minimize these problems. Developing good data governance policies is complex, especially with security issues, but it’s an important conversation to have. In the process of computing the survey data, Paco discovered many big companies spend a lot of time with this issue and even employ checklists of requirements before projects can be made live. In his research, Paco also discovered that about 54% of companies are non-starters. Usually, their problems stem from tech debt and issues with company personnel who do not recognize the need for machine learning. The companies working toward integrating machine learning tend to have issues finding good staff. Berkeley is working to solve this problem by requiring data science classes of all students. But as Paco says, data science is a team sport that works well with a team of people from different disciplines. Paco is an advocate of mentoring, to help the next generation of data scientists learn and grow, and of unbundling corporate decision making to help advance AI. Amanda, Michelle, and Paco wrap up their discussion with a look toward how to change ML biases. People tend to blame ML for bias outcomes, but models are subject to data we feed in. Humans have to make decisions to work around that by looking at things from a different perspective and taking steps to avoid as much bias as we can. ML and humans can work together to find these biases and help remove them. Paco Nathan Paco Nathan is the Managing Parter at Derwen. He has 35+ years tech industry experience, ranging from Bell Labs to early-stage start-ups. Paco is also the Co-chair Rev. Advisor for Amplify Partners, Recognai, Primer AI, and Data Spartan.

We are all made of particles – but what are particles made of? It’s a question that’s been perplexing scientists for centuries - for so long, in fact, that listener Doug in Canada wants to know if there’s a limit to how much they can ever discover. CrowdScience heads out to CERN, in Switzerland, to find out. Birthplace of the internet, home to the Large Hadron Collider, and the site of the Higgs Boson’s discovery – the fundamental particle that is thought to give all other particles their mass, and one of the most important scientific finds of the 21st Century. But that revelation wasn’t an end to the quest – in fact, it has raised many more questions for the physicists and engineers involved. Dr David Barney, CMS, and Dr Tara Nanut, LHCb, tell us why. And now they have announced that they are considering building a new, larger particle collider to find answers. The Future Circular Collider would be a hundred kilometres long and sited partly under Lake Geneva, smashing together sub-atomic particles at unprecedented energies in the hope of revealing the fundamental building blocks of all matter in the Universe. But any outcomes are by no means certain, and it could cost up to €29 billion. Perhaps physicists need to think completely differently about how to unpick what makes our universe – we see how one research team at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford is doing just that, as they’re developing a collider that is not kilometres but centimetres long. Dr Charlotte Palmer, University of Oxford, tells us how. However these fundamental questions are tackled, critics say that the money could be better spent on other research areas such as combating climate change. But supporters argue that its discoveries could uncover new technologies that will benefit future generations in ways we can’t predict. Anand Jagatia meets the scientists responsible to making this next giant leap into the quantum unknown. (Photo: CMS experiment at CERN, Switzerland. Photo credit: CERN)

*First neutron star merger confirmed through gravitational waves Astronomers have for the first time detected gravitational waves generated by merging neutron stars. The findings involved the detection on August 17 of the collision of two neutron stars each slightly more massive than the Sun -- in a relatively nearby elliptical galaxy NGC 4993, about 130 million light-years away. *Mapping the far side of the Milky Way Astronomers have for the first time directly measured the distance to a star-forming region on the far side of the Milky Way Galaxy. The study reaches deep into the Milky Way’s terra incognita and nearly doubles the previous record for distance measurement within the galaxy. *CERN smashes Xenon ions The Large Hardon Collider at CERN the European Organization for Nuclear Research has undertaken its first Xenon ion collisions. The eight-hour event allowed the, ATLAS, ALICE, CMS and LHCb experiments situated around the 27-kilometre-long underground ring to record xenon nuclei collisions for the first time. *Stormy Titan sculptures the landscape Titan, the largest of Saturn’s more than 60 moons, has surprisingly intense rainstorms. The findings are based on the detection of alluvial fans on Titan by NASA’s Cassini spacecraft. *Japan launches navigation satellite A Japanese H-2A rocket has successfully launched a new navigation satellite. The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System Michibiki 4 spacecraft will complete a new constellation designed to improve satellite navigation in Japanese cities where tall buildings effect car satnav reception. *The Science Report Mothers exposed to higher levels of air pollution could have kids whose DNA is more likely to 'age' faster. Warnings that some teens are starting to cyber bully themselves. Evidence that killer whales in captivity have painful tooth problems. Earth’s OZONE layer may be under threat again. Drinking up to three and a half alcoholic drinks a day could be linked to a lower risk of heart failure. Pumpkin-colored zombies may be running rampant is the swamp. Subscribe, rate and review SpaceTime at all good podcasting apps…including iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Podbean, Radio Public, Tunein Radio, google play, castbox.fm etc Help support SpaceTime : The SpaceTime with Stuart Gary merchandise shop.

La física de partículas es un buen ejemplo de ciencia que se cocina a fuego lento: a veces el proceso para encontrar una partícula se prolonga durante mucho tiempo. En los últimos años varios experimentos se han fijado en que las desintegraciones del quark b no son exactamente como la teoría predice. Esta semana el experimento LHCb del CERN ha publicado sus últimos resultados sobre las desintegraciones del mesón B0, una partícula dentro de la cual hay un quark b. Y de nuevo, lo que vemos no se ajusta a lo que esperábamos. ¿Son éstos los primeros indicios de una nueva partícula? El acelerador SuperKEKB, en Japón, está ya en marcha y su experimento Belle II va a estudiar estas anomalías de los mesones B; en el episodio s07e35 os hablamos de los primeros pasos de este nuevo experimento. También podéis aprender más sobre física de partículas en los episodios s00e01, s01e07, s01e35, s01e36, s04e13 y s05e18. Este programa se emitió originalmente el 18 de abril de 2017.

Physics Colloquium 3 February 2017 delivered by Professor Val Gibson, Cambridge The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has just completed another very successful year of data-taking, exceeding many of its design parameters, and collecting a huge amount of data. The LHCb experiment at the LHC is designed to search for new phenomena in heavy quark (beauty and charm) systems, which could ultimately explain why we live in a universe made of matter and not antimatter, as well as giving insight into the origin of dark matter in the Universe. This colloquium will focus on the latest results from the LHCb experiment: the precision measurements that benchmark the Standard Model; the results that tantalisingly deviate from the Standard Model; and the discovery of many new particles, including pentaquarks.

Pour la première fois, une particule de type baryon, le Λb , montre des signes d'asymétrie entre matière et antimatière. Ce résultat vient d'être obtenu par l'expérience LHCb au CERN. Il s'agit de la première mesure du genre sur un baryon (les particules de la famille des protons et des neutrons), un phénomène encore jamais vu, et ouvre la voie vers l'explication de la domination de la matière sur l'antimatière dans l'Univers.

Hi, Stuart with the Show Notes for Series 19 Episode 45... *Citizen scientists discover a massive galaxy cluster Two volunteer participants in an international citizen science project have discovered a rare galaxy cluster which has now been named in their honour. The pair pieced together the huge C-shaped structure -- located some 1.2 billion light years away -- from much smaller images of cosmic radio waves shown to them as part of the web-based Radio Galaxy Zoo project. *New Type of Meteorite Linked to Ancient Asteroid Collision Scientists have discovered a new type of meteorite never before seen on Earth. The space rock, appears to be from the missing partner in a massive asteroid collision 470 million years ago. *Physicists discover family of tetraquarks Physicists have confirmed the existence of a new group of sub atomic particles called tetraquarks. Scientists at Syracuse University confirmed the existence of the rare exotic particle as well as three siblings using the Large Hadron Collider beauty LHCb detector at CERN theEuropean Organization for Nuclear Research. *Curiosity Mars rover unexpectedly shuts down NASA's Mars Curiosity rover shut down unexpectedly over the weekend. The car sized six wheel robot suddenly put itself into safe standby mode on July second. *Virgin Galactic to start test flights of its newest spaceship Virgin Galactic is about to start test flying its newest space plane The Unity which replaces the original SpaceShipTwo Enterprise which crashed into the Mojave Desert back in January 2014. Test fights will begin next month with full suborbital space flights beginning in 2017. Subscribe, rate and review at iTunes, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Pocketcasts, Podbean, Podcast Addict, Tunein Radio, Radioline, or any good podcatcher app. Stream episodes via www.bitesz.com/spacetime (mobile friendly). Email at SpaceTime@bitesz.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

L'équipe était presque au complet. Il manquait Robin (trop de physique pour lui), Irène (le CERN est un peu loin de Santa Barbara) et David qui avait tout prévu pour être là, sauf son passeport. On était également accompagnés de dessinateurs : Puyo (bien sûr), Mel, Gleb et Phiip. Pour l'occasion, Billie et Florence Porcel se sont également prêtées au jeu et nous ont proposé leur dessin pour illustrer la soirée. Et bien sûr des poditeurs sont venus de toute l'Europe pour participer à cet event exceptionnel. On a eu l'occasion de visiter les expériences LHCb et ALICE, d'assister à une conférence de Benjamin Bradu (La science pour tous) sur le CERN et de découvrir des équipements de surface, avec des guides passionnants. La journée s'est clôturée par une soirée radio-dessinée en direct du CERN et à l'heure ! Un compte-rendu rédigé par Joanathan de voyagecast et David Loureiro sera bientôt mis en ligne (merci à eux ;)).

Why do we exist? CP violation is an integral part of this question as its understanding is crucial to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in our universe. Several experiments were designed and carried out to precisely measure CP violation, especially in the B meson system where large asymmetries where predicted and found. With Belle II and LHCb, two new experiments are going to improve the existing measurements. Belle II will be based on the very successful Belle experiment at the KEKB collider, currently holding the world record on luminosity with 2.11×10³⁴ cm⁻²2s⁻¹. The B meson system has a very rich decay topology and many of theses decay modes and their CP asymmetry parameters have already been measured at Belle. The most famous decay channel, B0⟶J/ψK0s, poses very tight constraints on sin 2φ₁ but leaves a twofold ambiguity on the actual value of the angle φ₁ in the CKM triangle. The decay mode B0⟶D*-D*+K0s, while experimentally much more challenging, offers the unique possibility to also extract cos2φ₁ and thus resolve this ambiguity. In the first chapters of this thesis we present the principle of this measurement and the results for the branching fraction and the time-dependent CP violation parameters of B0⟶D*-D*+K0s decays. These results are obtained from the final data sample of the Belle experiment containing 772 million BBbar pairs collected at the Υ(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider. We obtain the branching fraction BR(B0⟶D*-D*+K0s) = (5.35+0.35−0.34(stat) ± 0.57(syst))×10⁻³, which is in agreement with the current world average. In a 3 parameter fit sensitive to cos2φ₁, we extract the currently most precise values for the CP parameters Jc/J0 = 0.37 ± 0.10(stat) ± 0.02(syst), (2Js1/J0) sin(2φ₁) = 0.30 ± 0.16(stat) ± 0.03(syst), (2Js2/J0) cos(2φ₁) = 0.16 ± 0.16(stat) ± 0.03(syst). This allows us to exclude a negative value for cos2φ₁ at a 85% confidence under the assumption that that (2Js2/J0) is positive. Finally, we describe the implementation of the vertex detector geometry for the upcoming Belle II experiment. The upgrade to Belle aims to increase the integrated luminosity by a factor of 50 and will receive, among other upgrades, a completely new vertex detector. To produce simulated events, a precise description of the sensor geometry and material budget is needed.

Finding the Higgs boson on July 4th 2012 was the last piece in physicists' Standard model of matter. But Tracey Logan discovers there's much more for them to find out at the Large Hadron Collider. To start with there is a lot of work to establish what kind of Higgs boson it is. Tracey visits CERN and an experiment called LHCb which is trying to find out why there's a lot more matter than anti-matter in the universe today. Dr Tara Shears of Liverpool University is her guide. Tracey also talks to physicists who are hoping to find dark matter in the debris of the collisions at the LHC. Scientists know there's plenty of dark matter in the universe, from its effects on galaxies, but they don't know what it is. Tracey discovers that this fact isn't stopping the particle physicists carrying out experiments.(Image: Scientists in front of a screen at CERN during the restart of the Large Hadron Collider in 2009, Credit: AFP/Getty)

In this episode, Dale talks with physicist Don Lincoln of the DZero detector experiment at Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratories. Don talks about physics, Fermilab, his books, and some opportunities for teachers and students with QuarkNet. Preview from the Show: Basler: Can you give us an overview of what the [Fermilab] does, and what the facility's goals are? Lincoln: My own lab, Fermilab, accelerates protons and antimatter protons near the speed of light and collides them together. Fermilab has some other programs also where we accelerate protons and smash the protons into a target, which is usually some material - nickel or something. And from that, we extract other particles – which could be neutrinos – which is what we're doing mostly - and experimenting with those as well.�? Basler: What do you say to the person that says “I hated Physics�?? Lincoln: Well I ask them why they hated physics. Usually they say “well, ‘cuz it was too math oriented and it was difficult�?. And I say, “let's talk about the world. Have you ever wondered why the sun came up?�? or things like that. And usually I can get them to talk about some aspect of the world that they're interested in, and show them that, in fact, the study of physics really is interesting in that it explains an awful lot, and shows these interconnections that they might not be aware of. Basler: And you have a book that could help out teachers… Tell us a little about that. Lincoln: Well actually I have two books. The first book…was written intentionally for people who come to my public lectures, because the people who come to the science lectures are usually of course very enthusiastic about science, and they've read many of the popular books. This particular book that I wrote, was actually aimed at them, for those who wanted to go a little bit deeper. The second book is not even out yet - it'll be out in the summer of 2008 – details the new accelerator that is going to be turning on this year in Europe – the large hadron collider, and that one is also aimed at the general audience. Lincoln: High School teachers can join the QuarkNet program. They will then go and work with the researcher, for perhaps a week during the summer, and get a sense of what research is going on. Then they bring that information back to their classrooms. And for many of the QuarkNet center - of which I think there are 50 currently in the country - they get funded to bring high school students in the laboratory to work for the summer – and they get paid to work even. Don's Books: "Understanding the Universe: From Quarks to the Cosmos" The target audience for this book is a lay audience of science enthusiasts. I had high school teachers in mind as I wrote it. Find it at Amazon.com. New book: "The Quantum Frontier: The Large Hadron Collider" (name subject to change, will be out summer 2008.) Maybe it's just better to say that the new book "describes in layman terms the exciting new research program about to start at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland."
