Music of the Quantum

Posted on February 14, 2012 by PlatoHagel

The weird quantum nature of the atomic world challenges us to revise the way we view the world around us. We learn that our everyday world – built out of the myriad superposition of matter waves, has an unexpected capacity … Continue reading →

The Belle B Factory Experiment

Posted on January 11, 2012 by PlatoHagel

Existing standard hadrons and exotic hadrons. At the B Factory experiment, a series of new exotic mesons containing charm quarks (c) have been discovered. Unlike these exotic mesons, the newly discovered Zb particles contain bottom quarks (b) and have an … Continue reading →

Asymptotic freedom

Posted on November 10, 2011 by PlatoHagel

 Witten: One thing I can tell you, though, is that most string theorist’s suspect that spacetime is a emergent Phenomena in the language of condensed matter physics. *** In physics, asymptotic freedom is a property of some gauge theories that … Continue reading →

The Developmental Jet Process

Posted on November 1, 2011 by PlatoHagel

As a layman I have been going through the research of those better educated then I in order to construct a accurate syntactically written developed scientific process as I have become aware of it. This is what I have been … Continue reading →

ALICE Enters New Territory

Posted on July 11, 2011 by PlatoHagel

A computer screen in the ALICE control room shows an event display on the night of the first heavy-ion collisions in the LHC in November 2010. A basic process in QCD is the energy loss of a fast parton in … Continue reading →

A Conformal Field Theory Approach?

Posted on June 15, 2011 by PlatoHagel

Using the anti–de Sitter/conformal field theory correspondence to relate fermionic quantum critical fields to a gravitational problem, we computed the spectral functions of fermions in the field theory. By increasing the fermion density away from the relativistic quantum critical point, … Continue reading →

2010 ion run: completed!

Posted on December 13, 2010 by PlatoHagel

First direct observation of jet quenching. At the recent seminar, the LHC’s dedicated heavy-ion experiment, ALICE, confirmed that QGP behaves like an ideal liquid, a phenomenon earlier observed at the US Brookhaven Laboratory’s RHIC facility. This question was indeed one … Continue reading →
