I continue to believe that “quantum field theory” is a concept that we physicists don’t do nearly enough to explain to a wider audience. And I’m not going to do it here! But I will link to other people thinking about how to think about quantum field theory. Over on the Google+, I linked to [...]

Before next week’s holiday, we at Symmetry Breaking want to know about your affair with physics. Send us a love letter (or “Dear John” letter) about your research, a playful pun about a physical concept, or a story about a connection you’ve made with a fellow scientist. Post your comments here or send them to scharley@fnal.gov. We will publish our favorites on Feb. 14.

It's a worldwide first: the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK•CEN) has succeeded in operating a lead-cooled nuclear reactor controlled by a particle accelerator built by CNRS. The objective is to control the operation of nuclear reactors more easily and produce less polluting nuclear waste in the long term. This operational model, known as GUINEVERE, was also built in collaboration with CEA, the European Commission and around ten European laboratories.

Two unexpected new hadrons containing bottom quarks have been discovered by the Belle Experiment using the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK)'s B Factory (KEKB), a highly-luminous, electron-positron collider. These new particles have electric charge and are thought to be "exotic" hadrons -- non-standard hadrons, containing at least four quarks. Previously, a series of new and unexpected exotic hadrons containing charm and anti-charm quarks have been observed. This latest discovery from Belle demonstrates the existence of exotic hadrons containing at least four quarks in a particle system including bottom quarks.

A group of three researchers from KEK, Shizuoka University and Osaka University has for the first time revealed the way our universe was born with 3 spatial dimensions from 10-dimensional superstring theory1 in which spacetime has 9 spatial directions and 1 temporal direction. This result was obtained by numerical simulation on a supercomputer.

Geneva, 15 December 2011. CERN Council today announced an Open Symposium to be held on 10-13 September 2012 at Cracow, Poland for the purpose of updating the European Strategy for Particle Physics. Council adopted Europe's current strategy for the field in July 2006 with an understanding that it be brought up to date at appropriate intervals of typically five years.
