What, no popcorn?

Though scientists are skeptical of the suggested particle's existence, the results from Legnaro need to be checked, says Chou, who strayed from his usual area of research–cosmology– to help put the project together. "It's unlikely but not impossible.

The particle physics life list

Bird watchers have "life lists" of species they hope to see in their lifetimes. Why shouldn'’t particle physics fans do the same? With that in mind, in our April issue we asked readers to help us put together the first particle physics life list.

Rig, and rig alike

When objects weighing thousands of pounds have to be moved, the call goes out to riggers— specialized teams that work with hoists and cranes. They’re required to wear proper safety gear; and at some point, the riggers at SLAC decided to make a statement with their helmets.
