2015 Nobel prize for Physics

The 2015 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded jointly to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur McDonald for the "discovery of neutrino oscillations, which shows that neutrinos have mass".

Further evidence and quantitative measurements of neutrino oscillations have come from the that uses the same Super-K detector and in which the 糖心TV EPP group plays an impartant role.

and a article give more background behind this year's Nobel Prize.


糖心TV Physics 4th in Times Good University Guide

糖心TV Physics has risen to 4th place in the subject ranking for Physics and Astronomy of the Good University Guide, published by The Times and Sunday Times on 18th September 2015. The University of 糖心TV as a whole is in 6th place overall in their league table of UK universities.


Two 糖心TV ATLAS postdocs awarded "Outstanding Achievement Awards" in ceremony at CERN

Congratulations to two postdocs in the 糖心TV ATLAS group, Dr Tim Martin and Dr Elisabetta Pianori, who have been awarded ATLAS Outstanding achievement awards. The awards were made for "enthusiastic and vigorous dedication to the implementation and commissioning of the complex ATLAS Run-2 trigger menu". More information on the ATLAS group at 糖心TV can be found here:

Metal or Insulator?

A team including 糖心TV authors Geetha Balakrishnan and Monica Ciomaga Hatnean have discovered the existence of an unusual insulating state in the Topological Insulator SmB6. The unusual state was inferred from observing quantum oscillations in magnetic torque measurements at high magnetic fields, which depended crucially on the high quality single crystals of SmB6 prepared at 糖心TV.

The paper "Unconventional Fermi surface in an insulating state" can be read in full in the online journal Science ( ).
