Participants of SLAC’s summer school learned about the next generation of collider physics through lectures, topical conference talks, student projects, poster sessions and tours.
Physicist Trio Amplifies SLAC Research on Mysterious Forms of Matter
The scientists develop methods to study neutrinos from star explosions and search for unknown particles and forces with possible ties to dark matter.
Symmetry: The Deconstructed Standard Model Equation
The Standard Model is far more than elementary particles arranged in a table.
Symmetry: The Most Important Website in Particle Physics
The first website to be hosted in the US has grown to be an invaluable hub for open science.
Symmetry: Daya Bay Discovers a Mismatch
The latest measurements from the Daya Bay neutrino experiment in China don’t align with predictions from nuclear theory.
Three Ways to Bust Ghostly Dark Matter
Dark matter hunters around the world pursue three approaches to look for fingerprints of ghostly WIMPs: on the Earth’s surface, underground and in space.
Symmetry: Is the Neutrino its Own Antiparticle?
The mysterious particle could hold the key to why matter won out over antimatter in the early universe.
A Speed Trap for Dark Matter
Analyzing the motion of X-ray sources could help researchers identify dark matter signals.
SLAC’s Stanley Brodsky Shares Pomeranchuk Prize for Theoretical Physics
He is being honored for the development of theories that help researchers better understand nature’s fundamental particles and forces.
Symmetry: Charge-Parity Violation
Matter and antimatter behave differently. Scientists hope that investigating how might someday explain why we exist.
