ROCHESTER/STONY BROOK (US)# Scientists have announced the first definitive observation of the transformation of muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos#a type of neutrino oscillation that had never been observed.#
#In 1998 the discovery of neutrino oscillation in the atmospheric neutrinos by the Super-Kamiokande experiment led us to a new journey into the fascinating and mysterious world of neutrinos
The experiment shows that researchers can now accurately observe the type of neutrino oscillation that will need to be studied in detail in future experiments aiming to measure CP violation explains Steven Manly professor of physics at the University of Rochester and part of the collaboration.
For that reason the University of Rochester group has focused on understanding these other processes to ensure that what is measured is really the neutrino oscillation they have sought.
#Particle collider creates rimordial gooof the early universe A quark-gluon plasma is the original state of the universe.
In general, it been assumed that any particle collider looking to create a sample of quark-gluon plasma would have to smash together very heavy atomic nuclei.
and the RHIC itself, have created both quark-gluon plasmas in the past, by making incredibly violent collisions between heavy atoms like lead or gold.
What this particular RHIC experiment did was to create a quark-gluon plasma by colliding a the nucleus of a helium-3 atom with an atom of gold
The ability to create an ever wider array of samples of quark-gluon plasma will be important, not because the plasma itself will ever be long-lived enough to be useful,
So, as interesting as it is that smaller collisions can create smaller, more localized droplets of quark-gluon plasma
Skyrmions were described originally over 50 years ago as a type of hypothetical particle in nuclear physics. Actual magnetic skyrmions were discovered only in 2009,
This includes the study of predicted physical phenomena such as Majorana fermions, particles predicted in 1937 but not yet observed, which,
"I'm not suggesting we've come up with some grand unified theory, but these results will aid understanding of how electromagnetism
more exotic particles could exist, such as the pentaquark: a group of four quarks and an antiquark.
