Englert and Higgs get the Nobel
On 8 October, the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Professors François Englert and Peter Higgs “for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS andCMS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron […]
T2K Beam Group wins 2013 Suwa Prize
The T2K Neutrino Beam group was awarded the 2013 Suwa Prize by the FAS (Foundation for High Energy Accelerator Science), for their contribution to the discovery of electron neutrino appearance by creating and operating the highest intensity neutrino beam facility. read more…
T2K submits paper that conclusively shows muon neutrinos transform to electron neutrinos
The T2K experiment has submitted a paper to Physical Review Letters, reporting the definitive observation of electron neutrino appearance in a high-purity muon neutrino beam that travels 295 km, from the J-PARC accelerator complex to the Super-Kamiokande underground neutrino detector. read more …
Multi-boson spectrum of the SU(2)-Higgs model
Lattice simulations are used to compute the spectrum of energy levels for all angular momentum and parity quantum numbers in the SU(2)-Higgs model, with parameters chosen to match experimental data from the Higgs-W boson sector of the standard model. Creation operators are constructed for all lattice irreducible representations, and a correlation matrix is formed from […]
Composite Goldstone Dark Matter: Experimental Predictions from the Lattice
We study, via first principles lattice simulations, the nonperturbative dynamics of SU(2) gauge theory with two fundamental Dirac flavors. The model can be used simultaneously as a template for composite Goldstone boson dark matter and for breaking the electroweak symmetry dynamically. We compute the form factor, allowing us to estimate the associated electromagnetic charge radius. […]
Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions at Colliders
Many extensions of the Standard Model lead to non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), which can affect the interpretation of current and future neutrino data. We explore an alternative approach to the study of these dimension eight four fermion interactions (of coefficient 4ϵGF/2‾√), by bringing into play collider data. read more …
Physics and Astronomy partners with the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics
York University and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Waterloo have recently forged a new partnership with their first joint hire, Dr. Matthew Johnson. The Perimeter Institute is one of the premier research centres for theoretical physics in the world, with focus in Cosmology & Gravitation, String Theory, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Foundations, Quantum Information, […]
