What is Cerenkov Radiation?

Posted on October 11, 2006 by PlatoHagel

…the creative principle resides in mathematics. In a certain sense therefore, I hold it true that pure thought can grasp reality, as the ancients dreamed.Albert Einstein Many do not recognize the process that unfolds in the developing perspectives about theoretics? … Continue reading →

From Modelling to Experimentation?

Posted on October 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Moving to higher energies, the expected fluxes of neutrinos become smaller, that even a cubic kilometer detector is not able to detect them. Larger volumes can be achieved by replacing optical sensors by acoustic detection. The reason is that acoustic … Continue reading →

Why do physicists want to study particles?

Posted on September 26, 2006 by PlatoHagel

A few “cosmic rays” pass through our body every second of every day, regardless of where we are. They consist of particles created when high energy atomic nuclei (mainly protons) coming from outer space collide with the atoms at the … Continue reading →

The Right Spin for a Neutrino Superfluid

Posted on July 23, 2006 by PlatoHagel

So how does it pancake? Now it is always a interesting proposition that what is leading in perspective, is meet with immediate new information( I think of course here of Risk Assessment and the first topic dealing with the issue … Continue reading →

High Energy Particle Creations: PLacing the Universe into Perspective?

Posted on June 9, 2006 by PlatoHagel

“String theory and other possibilities can distort the relative numbers of ‘down’ and ‘up’ neutrinos,” said Jonathan Feng, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at UC Irvine. “For example, extra dimensions may cause neutrinos to create microscopic … Continue reading →

It’s Alive: Cosmic Ray Recordings

Posted on June 7, 2006 by PlatoHagel

I was doing some visiting around to see what Jacque Distler was doing and of course some blog entries are more dear to the heart, when you have followed the history and found correlative statements that bring the subject home … Continue reading →

How Particles Came to be?

Posted on May 10, 2006 by PlatoHagel

The First Few Microseconds, by Michael Riordan and Willaim A. Zajc For the past five years, hundreds of scientists have been using a powerful new atom smasher at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island to mimic conditions that existed at … Continue reading →

Nodes and Anti-nodes

Posted on April 3, 2006 by PlatoHagel

Tool’s for measure. The center of the gyroscope is a jewel-like sphere of fused quartz. These spheres, the size of Ping-Pong balls, are the roundest objects ever made by man. The tiny spheres are enclosed inside a housing chamber to … Continue reading →
