In discussion with John Ellis: The Higgs, Patience and Perseverance in Science
In discussion with John Ellis: The Higgs, Patience and Perseverance in Science by Panos Charitos For John Ellis, the history of the Higgs boson is not a neat, short story that begins with a theory paper and ends with a discovery announcement. It is a long intellectual adventure, beginning in superconductivity, moving through the construction

The NNLO frontier
The NNLO frontier The potential of a post-LHC collider to explore for hints of new physics relies on technological advancements but also on theoretical developments that will allow very accurate background determinations. With a concensus growing for a lepton collider offering a wide range of precision Higgs and electroweak measurements it is important to consider

Interview with James Peebles
Interview with James Peebles An interview with Jim Peebles, one of the world’s foremost cosmologists and an emeritus professor at Princeton University, where since 1984 he was the Albert Einstein Professor of Science. Together with Robert Dicke (who was originally his supervisor) and others they predicted the existence of the cosmic background radiation while his
