There are mainly two ways to take into account non-zero neutrino masses…
Let’s modify the fields of the Standard Model (SM) by adding the right-handed neutrino. The main consequence is that in the SM lagrangian a mixing term for neutrino flavour pops up, parametrized by a matrix called the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix.
Let’s remove the renormalizability requirement […]

You should emulate your heros, but don’t carry it too far, especially if they are dead
And thanks to the 1402 unique visitors of this week…

Higgs… Noether… Symmetries… SU(3)… Flavour… Color… Crap… Neutrinos… Neutralinos… Standard Model And Beyond…
Why Pisa and Roma universities have a quality of teaching surely NOT better than Padova University, but have plenty of money to send their undergraduates some months in America during the thesis?
Why Pisa and Roma universities consider the Summer Student as an exam […]

Oh well… I should give to Tommaso my report on the summer activity tomorrow (actually, in a few hours). But I want to obtain some better results, ’cause I don’t like to leave a work half-finished. So I am still working… Ok it is 4.30 in the morning… Oh well… I seriously doubt I will […]

66 hours, 39 minutes total.
3 hours of which were dedicated to sleep.
About the 4.5%…
But I found and fixed the source of overcorrections in the neural networks I am working on…
More on the topic this weekend, if we do not go to Niagara Falls.
Now I will sleep…

A RF cavity is a particular cavity in which a variable electromagnetic field accelerates the particles that enter in it. The smartness is that a RF cavity is in fact made up from a certain number of cavities, in series one after the other: you know that an electric field accelerate a particle only if […]

Well, here we are…
If we take into account two reference frames in motion one in respect to the other (but with no acceleration), we can take as a good equation the Lorentz Equations.
These equations basically (with no mathematical strictness… It is nearly midnight…) say that the coordinate quadri-vector (the vector that identifies a point in […]

I promised to speak about this topic in this post, so here I inaugurate the Physics Today section…
I will perhaps elaborate more precisely on relativistic kinematics in a future page of the website: today we will review some useful concepts for particle physics.
Many of you have surely heard about the famous E = mc2 formula, […]
