As I am traveling around Europe this week, giving seminars in several places (Hamburg yesterday, Berlin today, and Clermont-Ferrand on Friday) my connectivity is erratic and my capability to follow…

800x600 From Data: -- Neutrinos are Related to Geometry Unique Particles Positively suggested by empirical data equation for neutrino mixing angles cos2 (2θ12) + cos2 (2θ23) + cos2 (2θ13) = 1+ sin2…

The DZERO collaboration published earlier this year a search for resonances decaying to pairs in its Run-2 dataset of 2-TeV proton-antiproton collisions, produced by the now defunct Tevatron…

I am told that when a patient is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he or she will likely go through a well-defined sequence of stages. The first stage is Denial: the patient will convince him-…

800x600 Crazy Enough to Be True?     According Einstein and in agreement with recent approach of S. Weinberg, it must be ‘something’ in the outer space that parallels the quantum wave…

The book "Anomaly! Collider physics and the quest for new phenomena at Fermilab" is about to be published, after a somewhat long and anti-climatic wait. And the first presentation events are being…

A new paper by the ATLAS collaboration at the CERN Large Hadron Collider produces results in good agreement with standard model predictions: the unitarity of the cross section of the vector-boson…

Back to my office in Padova, I am looking back at last week's travel around the US and the two talks I delivered at SLAC (the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) and Northwestern University. …

As the 23 faithful readers of this blog already know, I recently wrote a book that describes the searches for new physics undertaken by a glorious particle physics experiment, CDF, during the…

The mystery of what clumps galaxy clusters together, and provides for a quarter of the matter-energy budget of the universe, really looks like _the_ most important scientific question we face today.…
