Phys., v3, p. 81-82 (2019) (Journal version), (arXiv:1910.03259) Precursor discussion of supergravity (D=4 supergravity): On D=4 supergravity formulated in superspace: On the history of supergravity:

Consider a vector-like lattice gauge theory whose fermion content has Weyl number ≡ 0 (mod 16) i.e. anomaly-free in the sense that admits symmetric mass generation, the 16 of SO(10) / one SM generation being the canonical example tuned near the lower edge of the conformal window. Now switch on a... Read more

fields and particles in particle physics and in the standard model of particle physics: matter field fermions (spinors, Dirac fields) (also: antiparticles) hadrons (bound states of the above quarks) bosinos: dark matter candidates Exotica Hadron supersymmetry (Miyazawa 66, Miyazawa 68) is an approximate (dynamically broken) supersymmetry among the experimentally observed spectra of hadrons, hence…

Deep beneath the ground in China, the massive JUNO neutrino observatory has delivered its first major scientific breakthrough, achieving one of the most precise measurements yet of how elusive neutrinos change as they travel. Using just 59 days of data, researchers sharply improved measurements of key neutrino properties, boosting confidence that JUNO can tackle one of particle physics' biggest m…

A disagreement over neutrino-mass estimates might be resolved by assuming that neutrinos decay into hypothetical massless particles.

An Argonne-led team used an ALCF supercomputer to produce 3D images of the pion, offering new insight into quark behavior and advancing understanding of the origins of matter.

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10538-z The first data of the Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory deliver high-precision neutrino oscillation parameters, improving measurements and demonstrating readiness to determine neutrino mass ordering.

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01585-7 The first measurements from the JUNO experiment demonstrate unprecedented precision and promise exciting results.

Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-01851-8 Physicists hope that the JUNO facility can determine which type of neutrino has the highest mass.

The mysterious Amaterasu particle may not be a proton at all. New research suggests that some of the most extreme cosmic rays could be ultraheavy atomic nuclei, heavier than iron, which are better able to retain their energy while traveling through space. This idea could help explain how these rare particles reach Earth and provide new clues about the powerful cosmic explosions that create them.

The search for hypothetical fth forces has persisted for more than four decades despite the absence of a single conrmed detection. During this period, increas- ingly sophisticated theoretical constructions and increasingly precise experimental programs have continuously explored modications of Newtonian gravity through parametrized Yukawa-type interactions characterized by an interaction strength…

If the position of a particle is described by a function of time then it will be $$\mathbf{p}(t) = x(t)\hat{\mathbf{x}} + y(t)\hat{\mathbf{y}} + z(t)\hat{\mathbf{z}}.$$ Then how can you represent it ...

Rejected from Physical Review D? 7 alternative particle physics, cosmology, and gravitation journals ranked by fit, from JHEP and JCAP to EPJC, Physics Letters B, and Classical and Quantum Gravity.

Why should standard model particles be exactly the same? Why should electrons have exactly the same charge? It is as if God wasn't interested in making various particles and copied one electron a ...

The CERN Advanced STORage manager (CASTOR) is a hierarchical storage (i.e. has disk and tape) management system which was developed at CERN for archiving physics data (with very large data volumes, see the plot on the right). Files can be stored, listed, retrieved and remotely accessed using CASTOR command-line tools or user applications that were developed using the CASTOR API. CASTOR provides a…
