Charm &c.

The New York Times discusses China and particle physics, talking (as one might expect) about BES, its recent upgrade, and Chinese work on the ILC (though, oddly, no mention of the Daya Bay neutrino experiment).

It’s a pretty good article with fun anecdotes, though I think 140 of my closest friends might object to the characterization of BES/BEPC as “dominating” and having “hegemony” over the charm energy range… (Yeah, they will after BEPC-II starts, but that’s over a year away!)
