Well, it all comes down to statistics, and all the statistics seem to show a defined “bump” in the CMS and ATLAS data around the mass-energy of 125-126 GeV/c2— to a statistical certainty of 4.9 and 5 sigma. 125-126 GeV/c2just so happens to be one of the theorized masses of ...
add new components and systems, and take advantage of the new techniques that have taken place in the field of solid state design in just the last few years. New materials and refinements in manufacturing have led
CERN doesn’t just bring together people from a large scope of fields but unites people from all over the world As no single channel exists that will allow targeting of, for example, a mechanical technician in all CERN Member States, creative and innovative approaches have to be utilised. The...
He seemed content with the idea that we don’t have answers to some of these questions yet, or that it can take decades for someone to understand just one of the answers properly. The road to being a scientist is a long one and you’ve got to really want it and work hard to get ...
Experiments using CERN's Large Electron-Positron collider (LEP) turned up hints of the elusive Higgs particle just before LEP's scheduled shutdown (Science, 22 September, p. 2014). The tantalizing results won LEP a monthlong stay of execution, but nobody expects CERN to nail down whether ...
The YubiKey could easily integrate with any existing system or client, and seamlessly provide protection to the user by just one touch of the key. This made the YubiKey easy to deploy from the user perspective. Not only did this eliminate the need to change anything about the devices, or ...
The first layer will be placed just 2 mm from the beampipe and 19 mm from the interaction point, with a much lighter support structure that significantly reduces the material volume and therefore its effect on particle trajectories. Overall, the new system will boost the pointing resolution...
presidents expect trustees to help dun their friends and acquaintances for donations. The incentives even trickle down to deans, directors, and chairs, all of whom live with increasingly austere baseline budgets and a concomitant incentive to find and cultivate donors to expand, or even just suppor...
–They did really well, better than expected, as both experiments achieved 5 sigma or just shy of it. No need to aggregate the data, and the Tevatron 2-3 sigma results released this week too are also suggestive. –What they didn’t handle well was the press release. Apparently they put...
both theAssociated PressandReuters/Yahoo Newspublished stories telling us that the restart of CERN had been forced to shut down due to an electrical fault/short-circuit found in the wiring systems of one of CERN's 'vital magnets'. Questions need answers.Why did the plane JUST fall out of ...
