Comment on The Y(4260): Fun with Onia by Ian Edmond

Can I just say that your first few paragraphs explained charmonium – and indeed, the whole concept of quark-antiquark pairs, which I’ve been having a bit of a headache with – so much clearer than the various books I’ve been reading lately. This enthusiastic amateur thanks you!

Comment on A Friendly Reminder… by superweak

Ah, but notice that everyone who’s not in a cave knows about the LHC now? CERN does its PR much, much better than any of the US HEP labs. This is an *event* which could be scheduled reasonably far in advance. Collisions at 10 TeV are much harder to anticipate.

At any rate it will be the first time beam goes through ATLAS, so it’s exciting for the detector experts – they’ll have beam-gas events and halo muons to work with, not just cosmic rays.

Yeah, I’m thinking “one beam circulating” is not worth being awake at 3 AM for.

So Charm &c is now “fun from some CERN building”?

I don’t really understand why the first circulating beam is what the world has decided to get really excited about. It is exciting, but aren’t the first collisions at energies that have never been made before more the sort of thing to throw pajama parties over?

Comment on The last* CLEO-c double tag event by carlbrannen

I was about to comment that one of the pi particles had the wrong charge. On my monitor, both the blue pis look like they’re marked “pi-” because the vertical bar distinguishing + from – is hard to see. Sure enough, the + particles are going counter clockwise and the – particles the other way.
