Recently, the CDF and DZero collaborations completed an intense effort to combine their asymmetry measurements, carefully taking into account the statistical relationships among them. In addition to producing more precise results, they were able to reconcile the differences among the measurements as well as with updated theoretical predictions. The final set of asymmetry results was […]

Marshall’s talk, which will be live streamed at https://ttvn.tamus.edu/, is […]
For more than a decade, Texas A&M University high energy physicist Rupak Mahapatra has been making the devices that make detection of the particles believed to be behind dark matter and therefore nearly a quarter of the universe possible. Mahapatra has been instrumental in positioning the international Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment at Soudan, […]
