Upon expressing the Higgs potential in terms of the field H0, we find

The first term in V is a constant energy density which can be interpreted as a contribution to the vacuum energy,

Senators, Please Do Not Cut Science Research

Mar 06 2011 | comment(s)

I just became aware of a letter that is being sent to a couple of US Senators by a large and illustrious collection of scientists, and I decided to put my signature below it. The letter is clear and I will not comment it here - suffices to just paste it here.

By the way, I do not think that more signatures are necessary to it, but if you agree with the contents and wish to participate your support, please do so by adding your name below, in the comments thread. It will just take you thirty seconds of your valuable time, but it might have an impact here too.

CPT and MINOS

Mar 05 2011 | comment(s)

Just a very short post here to mention Marni Dee Sheppeard's guest post in the brand new NEUTEL blog, the blog of the Neutrino Telescopes 2011 conference, which will be held in Venice from March 15th to March 18th, in the beautiful setting of Palazzo Franchetti, on the Grand Canal. Marni discusses the connection between MINOS results and CPT violation.

My Four Sketches Put To Good Use

Mar 03 2011 | comment(s)

In a recent post I mentioned here that for the first of two feature articles I wrote for Physics World, and which just appeared in this month's issue (the first piece is actually available online here), I had hand-drawn four sketches that described visually the four main steps of a data analysis looking for new physics.

New Tight SUSY Exclusion From ATLAS

Mar 03 2011 | comment(s)

The results of a new Supersymmetry search have been released a few days ago by the ATLAS collaboration. They come from an analysis of events with large missing transverse energy and jets -the most classical signature of SUSY at hadron colliders, as well as the most sensitive one in a wide range of the complicated space of SUSY parameters.

NEUTEL Has A Blog!

Mar 03 2011 | comment(s)

From March 15th to March 18th I will be following the NEUTEL 11 conference, which conveniently (for yours truly!) takes place in Venice, in the magnificent setting of Palazzo Franchetti (see picture below).

NEUTEL (first bulletin here) deals with results in particle physics and astrophysics produced by, or in connection to, neutrino telescope experiments; the most recent advances in the theory of neutrinos, astrophysics, and cosmology will also be discussed by eminent theorists.
