There has been a long standing tension between the experimentally measured anamalous magnetic moment of the muon and the theoretical prediction from the standard model of particle physics. It could
The so-called lattice approach is a very successful first principle method that allows to solve Gauge Theories. Calculations resort to large scale simulations and are typically run on the
This project is for a student who finds the following result shocking but intriguing: 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . = -1/12 This looks wrong in so
In 2013, a team of university physicists, speaking on behalf of the German Physical Society, criticised the adoption of the Karlsruhe Physics Course (KPK) at some grammar schools in South
In strong electromagnetic fields the Lorentz force experienced by charges can become so large that the charge motion becomes relativistic. Newton’s equation of motion, F = ma, thus has to
The elementary particle called quarks combine together to form mesons. For heavy quarks the masses of the mesons can be obtained by numerically solving Schrodinger’s equation (from quantum mechanics) with
An avalanche is an example of a system displaying “self-organisation”. On a clear day, the great mass of snow on a mountain may appear to be in equilibrium, but the
Shock waves occur throughout nature: in fluids, gases and plasmas. A classic example is the “sonic boom” produced around an aircraft when it exceeds the speed of sound. This project
