During binary neutron star collisions, hot neutrinos can be briefly trapped at the interface, remaining out of equilibrium with the cool cores of the merged stars for 2 to 3 milliseconds. This interaction helps guide the particles toward equilibrium and provides new insights into the physics of such couplings. Credit: SciTechDaily.com New simulations show that … Read more

Building on their extensive involvement at CERN, the University of Rochester team recently achieved “highly accurate” measurements of the weak mixing angle, a core component of the Standard Model of particle physics. Credit: Samuel Joseph Hertzog; Julien Marius Ordan Researchers at the University of Rochester, working with the CMS Collaboration on CERNhave made significant advances … Read more
