Time's quantum arrow has a preferred direction: BaBar experiment confirms time asymmetry

(Phys.org)—Time marches relentlessly forward for you and me; watch a movie in reverse, and you'll quickly see something is amiss. But from the point of view of a single, isolated particle, the passage of time looks the same ...

Confining supersymmetry: LHCb presents evidence of rare B decay

Today, at the Hadron Collider Physics Symposium in Kyoto, the LHCb collaboration has presented the evidence of a very rare B decay, the rarest ever seen. The result further shrinks the region in which scientists can still ...

Physicists develop first conclusive test to better understand high-energy particles correlations

Researchers have devised a proposal for the first conclusive experimental test of a phenomenon known as "Bell’s nonlocality." This test is designed to reveal correlations that are stronger than any classical correlations, ...

Fermilab results add to confidence in explaining less antimatter amounts

(PhysOrg.com) -- The Standard Model of Physics suggests that shortly after the Big Bang there should have been the same amount of antimatter in existence as there was matter. As time passed, both should have decayed roughly ...

'Spooky action at distance' in particle physics?

Researchers have devised a proposal for the first conclusive experimental test of a phenomenon known as ‘Bell’s nonlocality.’ This test is designed to reveal correlations that are stronger than any classical ...

Belle discovers new heavy 'exotic hadrons'

(PhysOrg.com) -- Two unexpected new hadrons containing bottom quarks have been discovered by the Belle Experiment using the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK)'s B Factory (KEKB), a highly-luminous, electron-positron ...

Charming surprise: First evidence for CP violation in charm decays

The LHCb Collaboration has presented today at the Hadron Collider Particle Symposium in Paris possible first evidence for CP violation, the difference between behaviour of matter (particles) and antimatter (antiparticles), ...

First result from a new generation of reactor neutrino experiments

Physicists of the Double Chooz experiment detected a short-range disappearance of electron antineutrinos. They presented this result on Wednesday 9 November 2011 at the LowNu conference in Seoul, Korea. It helps determine ...
