(Phys.org)—The art of data mining is about searching for the extraordinary within a vast ocean of regularity. This can be a painful process in any field, but especially in particle physics, where the amount of data can be enormous, and 'extraordinary' means a new understanding about the fundamental underpinnings of our universe. Now, a tool first conceived in 2005 to manage data from the world's largest particle accelerator may soon push the boundaries of other disciplines. When repurposed, it could bring the immense power of data mining to a variety of fields, effectively cracking open the possibility for more discoveries to be pulled up from ever-increasing mountains of scientific data.  http://phys.org/news267256012.html Physics Wed, 19 Sep 2012 06:47:04 EST news267256012 (Phys.org) -- Recently analyzed data from the BaBar experiment may suggest possible flaws in the Standard Model of particle physics, the reigning description of how the universe works on subatomic scales. The data from BaBar, a high-energy physics experiment based at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, show that a particular type of particle decay called "B to D-star-tau-nu" happens more often than the Standard Model says it should. http://phys.org/news259236115.html Physics Mon, 18 Jun 2012 11:02:06 EST news259236115 (PhysOrg.com) -- The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is once again colder than deep space as it is prepared for experiments to resume in late November. http://phys.org/news175243758.html Physics Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:20:01 EST news175243758
