A Crucial Particle Physics Computer Program Risks Obsolescence
[ad_1] Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle…
Physicists Rewrite a Quantum Rule That Clashes With Our Universe
[ad_1] “There are some configurations of the future that don’t correspond to anything in the past,” Cotler said. “There’s nothing in the past that would evolve into them.” Giddings has…
Where Do High-Energy Cosmic Rays Come From? A Star’s Last Gasp
[ad_1] Gamma rays from this supernova remnant have been seen by telescopes since 2007, but exceptionally energetic light wasn’t detected until 2020, when it was picked up by the HAWC…
Particle Physicists Puzzle Over a New Duality
[ad_1] Once found, these inscrutable rules have helped particle physicists calculate scattering amplitudes at much higher levels of precision than they could achieve with the traditional approach. The restructuring also…
