  An Analysis of Madhyamike Particle Physics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
In the East, the importance of 'minute particles' for scholarship and research has been in proportion to their size - there was no way to observe such particles directly, and while they figured in many schools' paradigms of physical existence they were generally relegated to the baggage compartment while other topics were more hotly debated.
The reductionist tactics of both physics and psychology are a result of the unconscious acceptance that to know what a thing is, you must take it apart and examine its pieces, and the further belief that things are what they are apart from your experience of them.
That the Tibetans have taken to teaching physics in their monasteries in exile is evidence that they see the need for a retooling, or at least a good upgrade, of their traditional system.

These particles were the first in a long sequence of particles that were unnecessary in the sense that they were not needed as constituents of ordinary matter.
Physical theories can have symmetries of a similar kind, but what remains invariant or unchanged after a transformation is not a pattern or an object but the mathematical structure of the laws of the theory itself.
In (b) the interaction of the particle itself is shown: a proton in the beam interacts with a proton in the target and produces four particles.

 Scientific Thoughts: New Meson
Photons (particles of light, carrier of the electromagnetic force), and Gluons (carrier of the strong nuclear force, that binds protons and neutrons into atomic nuclei) are Bosons.
The force particles are photon (electromagnetic force), gluon (strong nuclear force), W and Z boson (weak nuclear force, responsible for radioactivity).
These include several particles called pentaquarks (which may or may not exist) that contain five quarks, a particle called the X(3872) that appears to be made of four quarks, and another meson called the Ds(2317) that does not behave as predicted.

Without particle identification decay modes with expected CP asymmetries would be seriously deluted by modes with larger branching fractions.
At LHC b particle identification of charged particles is performed, among others, by two Ring Image Cherenkov (RICH) counters where particles propagates through a medium.
Due to the Cherenkov effect in this medium highly relativistic charged particles emit light in an angle relative to the trajectory of the particle where the angle is defined by the particles momentum.

 Empedocles [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The foundations of Empedocles' physics lie in the assumption that there are four 'elements’ of matter, or ‘roots’ as he calls them, using a botanical metaphor that stresses their creative potential: earth, air, fire and water.
Empedocles' physics have a particularly biological focus as is indicated by his choice of the botanical metaphor of 'roots’ for what were later called 'elements'.
This weird picture is explained by Aristotle in the Physics and later in more detail by Simplicius in his commentary on the Physics as a theory of the origin of species in which, as we would put it, a certain form of natural selection is operative.

 New exotic particle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Physicists working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US have found evidence for a new and rare subatomic particle, called a "hybrid meson".
The existence of this type of particle - an exotic mixture of the more fundamental quarks and gluons - was first predicted by theorists in the late 1970s.
By contrast, mesons - which are created in particle collisions but are short-lived - consist of a quark together with an antiquark (like a quark, but with exactly opposite properties).

 Position Sensitive Detectors in Particle Physics
Particle Physics 'experiments' are capital facilities that are like astronomical observatories, in that a range of studies may be undertaken over a period of years using the same kit of parts.
A detector which is sensitive to minimum-ionising particles is vulnerable to streamer discharges caused by heavily ionising particles such as nuclear fragments which are always present at a low rate in reactions involving hadrons.
Particle Physics continues to set exacting demands on detector technology and readout: in speed, position resolution, double hit resolution, material thickness, radiation hardness, data flow, data compression and event triggering.

 CERN Courier - DESY workshop combines gravi - IOP Publishing - article
Important puzzles in cosmology can find their natural explanation in microscopic particle physics, and a discovery in astrophysics can sometimes give new insights into the structure of fundamental interactions.
However, some of the pieces essential for building a theory that combines the physics of the macrocosmos with all microscopic phenomena in a complete and satisfactory way are still missing.
One of the most prominent consequences of D-brane physics is that a string theory in a so-called anti-de Sitter space-time (one with constantly negative curvature) is equivalent to conformal field theories - in other words there is a deep connection between string theory and quantum field theory.

Experiments carried out recently at Germany's national particle physics laboratory near Hamburg suggest that the electron may occasionally merge with quarks in high-energy collisions, forming a 'leptoquark', a previously undiscovered hybrid particle.
Particle physicists say that if the statistics of these results hold up after undertaking more repeat experiments, then the Standard Model will have to be extended or even rejected.
Bohm argued that the fundamental particles and fields so beloved of most physicists are no more than what he termed the explicate order, that part of the universe which is made manifest by use of our senses (or, extending our senses, scientific instruments).

 Annual report 1997 - Experimental Elementary Particle Physics
The particle physics group is engaged in the experimental study of nature’s smallest particles and the fundamental forces which determine how the particles interact with each other.
Quantum mechanics tells us that the higher the energy of a particle, the shorter its wavelength, and when used as a probe (a bit like light is used to probe bacteria under a microscope), it is able to reveal smaller and smaller structures.
The only practical way for us to carry out ground-breaking particle physics experiments today is by collecting our financial and intellectual resources at centralised laboratories such as CERN and DESY, and working together in large groups.

 Physics and Astronomy Research Experience Reviews: REU's at CERN
Many of my fellow American REU students did not have enough physics background to get a lot out of the lectures because they either (1) were rising seniors who had not taken enough physics courses yet, especially quantum mechanics, or (2) had majored in something besides physics, such as engineering or computer science.
The fact that it is at CERN, the world's largest particle physics center, and that CERN is near Geneva on the border between France and Switzerland, ought to be enough.
They were given to a wide audience: engineers and computer scientists who knew nothing about quantum mechanics or particles, physicists like me who had never taken a particle physics course or a field theory course, and more advanced students who had significant background in high energy physics.
