Cohen-Glashow Argument

Posted on October 7, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Bee:And for all I know you need a charge for Cherenkov radiation and neutrinos don’t have one. Fig. 1: Cerenkov radiation involves the nearly continuous emission of photons by a charged particle moving faster than the speed of light in … Continue reading →

Proton Collision ->Decay to Muons and Muon Neutrinos ->Tau Neutrino ->

Posted on October 5, 2011 by PlatoHagel

…..tau lepton may travel some tens of microns before decaying back into neutrino and charged tracks  Before I comment on the result, let me give you a little background on the whole thing. Opera is a very innovative concept in … Continue reading →

Cherenkov radiation

Posted on October 4, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Taking the formalisms of electromagnetic radiation and supposing a tachyon had an electric charge—as there is no reason to suppose a priori that tachyons must be either neutral or charged—then a charged tachyon must lose energy as Cherenkov radiation[15]—just as … Continue reading →

P.I. Chats: Faster-than-light neutrinos?

Posted on October 4, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Measurements by GPS confirm that the neutrinos identified by the Super-Kamiokande detector were indeed produced on the east coast of Japan. The physicists therefore estimate that the results obtained point to a 99.3% probability that electron neutrino appearance was detected.Neutrino … Continue reading →

The Synaptic World of Experience and Knowledge

Posted on September 7, 2011 by PlatoHagel

 It is important that people realize that as much as topological seasoning is added to the world by myself,  I see ourselves intrinsically linked to the inductive/deductive process. It is as if the tail of each is linked as a … Continue reading →

ICECUBE

Posted on March 9, 2011 by PlatoHagel

 For me, the idea of a backdrop measure, as if Thomas Young experimentally fires his photon gun, the collision points at the LHC provide dimensional references(flight paths) to events that are measured  by comparison of LHC too,  muon detection facilitations … Continue reading →

Muons reveal the interior of volcanoes

Posted on December 13, 2010 by PlatoHagel

The location of the muon detector on the slopes of the Vesuvius volcano. Like X-ray scans of the human body, muon radiography allows researchers to obtain an image of the internal structures of the upper levels of volcanoes. Although such … Continue reading →
