Interesting. Not everyday that a new particle gets discovered.

It moves to fast for us to "see" it :-)

New particle discoveries are quite rare. I wonder if any high-energy theory has to be re-written now...

Physicists find 'rebel' particle... "The existence of the particle is not a surprise, but its mass is lower than expected. This result will send theorists back to their drawing boards."
What's the big deal? Just another (Drum roll please)....
Rebel without a cause.

Penn High Energy Physics bump. (Penn has a BABAR group, led by Prof. Larry Gladney.)
Slac fires particles along a track
They do, but this research was done with a storage ring, PEP-II. The SLC is used as an injector for it, however.

I wonder if any high-energy theory has to be re-written now... Probably not, but it undoubtedly revealed some bad approximations. QCD radiative corrections are notoriously difficult to calculate.
To: Nagual
Since they are FTL it got here before you did, waited around and then left.

And yet so strange.

I dunno; I'm feeling a little down lately...

Pu + n -> what? Certainly not a D... ;-)

Ther Tachyon Particle is a plot device used on Star Trek TNG to solve any problem facing the Enterprise using the deflector dish and the warp engines. A few key strokes, frequencies modulated and presto!

If the Enterprise fires it's phasers at warp 2(4X "c") why doesn't the ship slice itself in half?

Because in the "Trek-verse" all speed is relative to the T.V. camera. If the ship is going 4xc and the camera is going along side then the speed of phasers is 4xc +c .

Isn't there a children's book called "BaBar"?
