Absolute Neutrino Masses in Geometric Phenomenology of Standard Model Hierarchies

In this research we derived absolute neutrino masses by geometric interpretation of the Standard Model hierarchies. Numerous confirmations may indicate that, besides the problem of Higgs sector many external parameters, the SM is a complete low energy part ...

Guess The B Fraction!

One of the things I like the most when I do data analysis is to use "pure thought" to predict in advance the features of a probability density function of some observable quantity from the physical process I am studying. By doing that, one can t ...

LIGO And The Denver Broncos: A Tale Of Two Comebacks

There is nothing so compelling as a story about falling down, recovering your footing, and then charging over the goal line completely redeemed … unless it is two such stories. The Denver Broncos’ Super Bowl 50 victory and the laser interferometer gravita ...

One Digamma Resonance Paper Worth Reading

How many phenomenological papers discussing the 750 GeV diphoton resonance have you read since December 15th 2015? I believe that having read none of them, or ten, does not make a big difference- you missed most of them anyways. In fact, I think the count ...

Dirac or Majorana Neutrino Mass Type?

Majorana or Dirac Neutrino Masses? Small finite Majorana masses assume very heavy mass scale symmetry, considered in mainstream theories, but the predicted values of light neutrino masses from the necessary see-saw mechanism are uncertain. ...

Giorgio Parisi Wins Onsager Prize

I am very happy to report that Professor Giorgio Parisi won another prize. Parisi is an Italian theoretical physicist who is very well known for his decisive contribution to QCD, with the DGLAP equations (the P stands for his last name) that govern the dyn ...

Want To Bet 20:1 That The 750 GeV Resonance Is Real?

UPDATE: Tiziano tells me that he has been misquoted by the Guardian- he was quoting himself a colleague when he mentioned the 20:1 bet. Sorry to say this bet is not on, at least until the person who offered the bet in the first place will manifest him- or ...
