Meet the glueball, the missing Standard Model particle
[ This blog is dedicated to tracking my most recent publications. Subscribe to the feed to keep up with all the science stories I write! ] Glueballs are the missing frontier of the Standard Model There should be particles made entirely of gluons, but we don’t know how to find them For Ars Technica: The […]

Why are there three copies of each type of particle?
[ This blog is dedicated to tracking my most recent publications. Subscribe to the feed to keep up with all the science stories I write! ] The mystery of particle generations Why are there three almost identical copies of each particle of matter? For Symmetry Magazine: The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably […]

Too many heavy particles could mean trouble for the Standard Model
The Standard Model (SM) of particles and interactions provides a successful description of most of the matter we know of. However, physicists have known for many years that it is not complete: the SM predicted massless neutrinos, and has no place for dark matter. A new result from the BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear […]
