  • The Discovery of Subatomic Particles by Steven Weinberg .. review

    I own this book but haven’t read through much of it. Excellent history of particle physics. If one aspires to write books for Physicists and allied scientists one shall follow the ethos behind such book .

  • Basic ideas of Particle Physics.. A Klong Meson

    Basic ideas of Particle Physics.. A Klong Meson

    Another example of importance of Particle Physics as is understood by the general public is Blackhole. Well see blackhole is not a particle-phyics idea but the general public knows LHC is a particle-physics lab which produces blackholes that can engulf the world. Such was the paranoia in the year 2008 before LHC had started banging…

  • Basic concepts of Monte Carlo and reconstruction.

    Basic concepts of Monte Carlo and reconstruction.

    This scheme as you could see is only a flip-flop and works to check if this works and my toy Monte Carlo proved that it does. But in real situations this Dzero mass constraint is used to recover the Klong 4-vector which also means we have the Dzero full-info now. But we input some Dzero…

  • Whats the meaning of a new particle?

    Now that Force corresponds to energy and you want to make it correspond to potential energy only you have to subtract the energy due to motion only and that will for a good deal involve various transformations etc because you want to be very careful about everything. But once you have known the potential energy…

  • The difference between virtual and real particles.

    Virtual Particles are like a “speculative tract, that might have existed”. ( — hence virtual particles are needed to satisfy consistencies of probability factors or likelihood fractions in a particle physics calculation, so that the consistencies of Physical laws can be maintained ) Real particle must exist; Real particles make real effects and virtual particles…
