The Standard Model of physics is a tyrant
From Scientific American, July 5, 2018: This editorial weighs in on the latest result from the MiniBooNE experiment. The author says that, while winning experiments may soon give us clarity, at this time there is no resolution to the sterile neutrino question.
Theorists publish highest-precision prediction of muon magnetic anomaly
The latest calculation based on how subatomic muons interact with all known particles comes out just in time for precision measurements at new Muon g-2 experiment.
In a cosmic first, scientists detect ‘ghost particles’ from a distant galaxy
From The Washington Post, July 12, 2018: At the IceCube experiment at Earth’s South Pole, 5,160 sensors buried more than a mile beneath the ice detected a single ghostly neutrino as it interacted with an atom. Scientists then traced the particle back to the galaxy that created it.
The cosmic achievement is the first time scientists have detected a high-energy neutrino and been able to pinpoint where it came from.

The endless search
From FAPESP’s Pesquisa, March 2018: International researchers are constantly looking for lighter particles in the hope of finding dark matter, including at the DarkSide-50 experiment, CDMS and the Dark Energy Survey.
Commentary: Journal Physics–Uspekhi celebrates its centennial
From Physics Today, July 1, 2018: Fermilab scientist Vladimir Shiltsev, who has worked with the journal Physics–Uspekhi for almost four decades, provides a brief history of the journal, whose centennial was in April 2018.
World Cup loyalties collide, accelerate at Fermilab
From Daily Herald, July 10, 2018: There is a patch of suburbia where World Cup excitement is accelerating and loyalties are about to collide: Fermilab, our government’s particle physics and accelerator laboratory in Batavia.
