High energy physics

Upcoming conferences for JPhysG

By Holly Young on March 30, 2017

Hi there! You won’t have seen me around this blog before – I have just joined IOP as the new Publisher for 2 journals, including Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle Physics. Prior to IOP I worked as a… Read More ›

Fluid modeling of Resistive Plate Chambers

By Dean Williams on December 1, 2016

The impact of transport data on development of streamers and induced signals

Shown schematically here is a particle traversing a pixel layer from the lower left and decaying before the next layer, causing multiple hits to appear. For this technique to be effective the particle should decay into many daughter particles. B hadrons have this property.

Finding ultra-high energy B-hadrons in high energy physics

By Colin Adcock on July 1, 2016

Professor Todd Huffman tells us about a new technique that could dramatically, and simply, increase the sensitivity of ATLAS detectors to B hadrons.
