	Electron and CERN Muon 2 Experiments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		One of the first peace-time physics results from atomic beam magnetic resonance experiments was the high accuracy frequency measurement which yielded an electron magnetic moment value different from the Dirac moment by 1 part in 1000 [1].
		The next milestone in the history of the anomalous magnetic moments of leptons in particle physics was foreshadowed by the discovery, in the quiet before the war, of a penetrating radiation in cosmic rays.
		Physically, the greater mass of the external muon provides energy in the polarization loop sufficient for many more quantum fluctuations of (small mass) electron-positron pairs than the smaller mass of the external electron provides for (large mass) muon pair fluctuations in the polarization loop.

	CERN Courier - The Graal of particle physic - IOP Publishing - article
		Undulators are normally composed of physical magnets, but Graal uses a micro-undulator in the ESRF straight section D7,which is a beam of ultraviolet laser light moving against the electron beam.
		Graal's main goal is the study of photonuclear reactions in the intermediate energy region, where the nucleons cannot be treated as elementary particles and their internal degrees of freedom cannot be ignored, but away from the asymptotic freedom of quarks and gluons.
		In the central part, between 25° and 155°, the emerging particles pass through two cylindrical wire chambers and a barrel of 32 thin plastic scintillators, then enter a calorimeter made of 480 BGO crystals, each 24 cm long, and arranged, like an orange, in 32 sectors of 15 crystals each.

	Particle physics from the Earth and from the sky
		Before invoking new physics, the possible "standard" causes of such a disagreement were carefully investigated: unexpected features of the quark distribution inside nucleons are the most likely culprits.
		The invariance of the physical law under spatial mirror symmetry P is maximally violated by the Weak Interaction.
		We recall that, in the jargon of particle physics, this corresponds to the physics of heavy quarks of the second, strangeness and charm, and especially third (beauty and top) generations.

		More than half of Journeys Beyond the Standard Model is a careful description of the minimal standard model of particle physics; it could be the basis of a course for advanced graduate students with a background in special relativity, quantum mechanics, and, preferably, some quantum field theory.
		All but one of the particles of the minimal standard model have been established experimentally, the most recent (summer 2000) being the tau neutrino.
		The remaining particle is the Higgs boson, a hypothetical scalar responsible for breaking symmetry between electromagnetic and weak interactions and, more remarkably, for giving mass to everything.

		Supersymmetric theories can relate the mass of a spin-0 particle to that of a particle with nonzero spin, and this is the only known way of having a naturally light spin-0 particle that has interactions that persist at low energies.
		The problem arises because the theoretical description of the W and Z particles that are responsible for beta decay requires the existence of a symmetry that also forbids masses for all observed elementary fermions, such as electrons.
		This problem is especially interesting because particle accelerators such as the LHC will soon be exploring the regime where this physics must show up, according to theory.

		In both phenomena numerous particles---whether boson particles such as helium-4 atoms or pairs of fermion particles such as electrons or helium-3 atoms---can coalesce into a single, all-encompassing quantum state; examples include supercurrents, superfluids, and Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC).
		Analogously, neutrinos with opposite helicity (for a "left-handed" neutrino, its intrinsic spin is oriented opposite to its direction of motion; for "right-handed" neutrinos it's the other way around) could pair up by exchanging a disturbance in the all-pervasive sea of Higgs bosons in the universe.
		Kapusta admits that the chances of observing his superfluid are slim since, first, right-handed neutrinos have never been observed (and might be even more elusive or ghostly than their left-handed partners) and, second, because the superfluid would only occur at temperatures far colder than the 2.7-K average-temperature of the current universe.

	Michael Hornish Neutrino Page
		The evolution of neutrino physics over the past half-century is truly one of the most fascinating and remarkable developments in recent times.
		Neutrino physics is quite unique in that it spans from nuclear and particle physics (which study the smallest objects in the universe) to astrophysics and cosmology (which study the largest objects in the universe).
		Secondly, while charged particles can easily be described as Dirac particles (where a particle and antiparticle are distinctly different due to the opposite sign of the electrical charge), the neutrino is electrically neutral and the distinction between a neutral particle and its antiparticle is not at all obvious.

		I’m also trying to understand “Why are there no particles other than fermions and bosons?” For example, no more than one electron (a fermion) can occupy a particular quantum state, whereas any number of photons (bosons) can occur in the same quantum state.
