The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, ...
Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements. Accuracy, Precision, and Significant Digits: Students distinguish between accuracy and precision of measurements and make ...
Physicists are quietly rolling out a new generation of simulation codes that promise to do more than crunch numbers. By ...
Tick tock: Artist's impression of a quantum clock. (Courtesy: Alexander Rommel/TU Wien) The second law of thermodynamics demands that if we want to make a clock more precise – thereby reducing the ...
A new result from the Q-weak experiment provides a precision test of the weak force, one of four fundamental forces in nature. The proton's weak charge was found to be QWp=0.0719±0.0045, in excellent ...
Precision measurements in atomic and ion physics have become a cornerstone for testing the limits of our understanding of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the Standard Model. By harnessing ...
