Intriguing peak in particle collision data
An international collaboration of scientists at DOE’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory has found evidence for a peak in a specific data sample of the proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab experiment. It is the kind of peak that, if confirmed, scientists associate with the existence of a particle. -
Improving models of how storm clouds contribute to climate
This week, storm experts from DOE’s Brookhaven Lab will head to Oklahoma! — where the clouds come sweepin’ down the plain, and . . . the wind comes right behind the rain — to take atmospheric measurements aimed at improving global climate models.
