current standard model of particle physics but not found — and perhaps a few more expected phenomena along the way.
It annoys me too much to see another generation of physicist deterred by the dumb, messy patchwork called the Big Bang and other called
the standard model of particle physics that hide the basic problems physics ought to deal with.

the standard model of particle physics — but we might need bigger machines to find them, worries Lisa Randall
THE standard model of particle physics is like Gormenghast — a sprawling castle constructed by tacking on new rooms as needed, with no underlying grand design.
Now measurements of the radio spectra of a distant gas cloud hint that some fundamental quantities might not be fixed after all, raising the possibility that a radical rethink of
the standard model of particle physics may one day be needed.
The standard model of particle physics does a great job of accounting for the fundamental particles of nature and three of the forces that act upon them — the weak and strong nuclear forces, and the electromagnetic force.
But Manuel Hohmann at the University of Tartu in Estonia has been working on an alternative called multimetric gravity, which involves copies of
the standard model of particle physics that each have slightly different properties.

the standard model of particle physics.»
Ultracold molecules provide the possibility to investigate fundamental chemical processes or to explore physics beyond
the standard model of particle physics.
They were recognized for discovering that particles called neutrinos — predicted to be massless according to
the Standard Model of particle physics — change identities as they travel toward Earth and therefore must have some mass.
Our best understanding of the building blocks of matter and the forces that glue them together is called
the standard model of particle physics.
Frank Wilczek bet Garrett Lisi that the Large Hadron Collider would see evidence of supersymmetry, a theory that goes beyond the standard model of particle physics
Scientists are keeping a keen eye out for any deviations from
the standard model of particle physics, the overarching theory that describes elementary particles and their interactions.
A generation of high - energy physicists came of age studying and testing
the Standard Model of particle physics, a theory devised in the 1970s that has withstood all experimental challenges.
Surprise behaviour from the new particle will help test theories that transcend the limits of the standard model of particle physics
In addition, he does not believe the science justifies the cost: The LHC confirmed the existence of the Higgs boson, he notes, but it has not discovered new particles or inconsistencies in
the standard model of particle physics.
Some physicists, such as Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, find a world without the Higgs distasteful as it is the last undiscovered piece of
the standard model of particle physics.
More importantly, it would prise open
the standard model of particle physics — which can not explain the result — and point the way to yet more new physics.
Comparing their data with T2K's results and looking for inconsistencies in details such as the particles» energy spectra could show if there are any deviations from
the standard model of particle physics, says Janet Conrad, a member of the Double Chooz neutrino experiment in Chooz, France.
The standard model of particle physics predicts exactly how often this should happen.
The Standard Model of particle physics predicts Xi - cc + + and many other possible particles with various configurations of the six known flavors of quarks.
At the same meeting, a CERN team confirmed that they had seen particles called Bs mesons decaying into two muons at a rate that matches predictions of
the standard model of particle physics.
The standard model of particle physics provides no particle that fits the bill, and efforts to detect dark matter particles beyond...
In an effort to fill in the blanks of
the Standard Model of particle physics, science has been conducting a diligent search for a hypothesized particle known as the «sterile neutrino.»
The evidence, which scientists have been seeking for 25 years, matches predictions made using
the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
The Standard Model of particle physics is an unfinished poem.
Unfortunately, the results keep telling
us the Standard Model of Particle Physics works phenomenally well, and what we're seeing now is another stunning success of that model.
Adding six particles to
the standard model of particle physics explains dark matter, neutrino oscillations, baryogenesis, inflation and the strong CP problem
Whatever dark matter is, it is not accounted for in
the Standard Model of particle physics, a thoroughly - tested «theory of almost everything» forged in the 1970s that explains all known particles and all known forces other than gravity.
According to
the Standard Model of particle physics, there are six kinds of quarks, whose intrinsic properties cause them to be grouped into pairs with unusual names: up / down, charm / strange and top / bottom.
You know there are these charts describing
the standard model of particle physics and Lawrence is right that we haven't yet had any experiments which lead us to move beyond that chart, [except in] the [area] of cosmology; so dark matter, dark energy, inflation, all require physics beyond the standard model.
At the time, what we now call
the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes all known elementary particles, was only just starting to coalesce.
But the flipping isn't quite matching up with the predictions of
