The coming revolutions in particle physics.
نویسنده
چکیده
Soon, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN will advance the experimental frontier of particle physics to the heart of the Fermi scale, reaching energies around one trillion electron volts for collisions among the basic constituents of matter. We do not know what the new wave of exploration will find, but the discoveries we make and the new puzzles we encounter are certain to change the face of particle physics and echo through neighboring sciences.

Visions: The Coming Revolutions in Particle Physics
Wonderful opportunities await particle physics over the next decade, with the coming of the Large Hadron Collider to explore the 1-TeV scale (extending efforts at LEP and the Tevatron to unravel the nature of electroweak symmetry breaking) and many initiatives to develop our understanding of the problem of identity and the dimensionality of spacetime.

متن کاملMaxwell and the classical wave particle dualism.
Maxwell's equations are one of the greatest theoretical achievements in physics of all times. They have survived three successive theoretical revolutions, associated with the advent of relativity, quantum mechanics and modern quantum field theory. In particular, they provide the theoretical framework for the understanding of the classical wave particle dualism.
متن کاملDoes Mirror Matter Exist? *
One of the most fascinating ideas coming from particle physics is the concept of mirror matter. Mirror matter is a new form of matter which is predicted to exist if mirror symmetry is respected by nature. At the present time evidence that mirror matter actually exists is in abundance, coming from a range of observations and experiments in astronomy, particle physics, meteoritics and planetary s...
متن کاملDynamics of prolate spheroidal elastic particles in confined shear flow.
We investigate through numerical simulations the dynamics of a neo-Hookean elastic prolate spheroid suspended in a Newtonian fluid under shear flow. Both initial orientations of the particle within and outside the shear plane and both unbounded and confined flow geometries are considered. In unbounded flow, when the particle starts on the shear plane, two stable regimes of motion are found, i.e...
متن کاملBehavioral Study of Saudi Arabia's Foreign Policy before Egypt and Bahrain Following the Arab Revolutions
Regional revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt and the expansion of consequent insurgences into other countries in western Asia have led to the formation of relationships as well as new behavioral patterns in the region. Meanwhile the behaviors of regional players in terms of confrontation toward these revolutions can be examined in both ends of the spectrum; countries that have greeted these revolu...
