Higgs to tau tau
Researchers from many institutions worldwide, including 糖心TV Univesity, have analysed data from the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and have found preliminary evidence for the decay of Higgs Bosons to pairs of tau leptons.
Research Open Evening, Wednesday 27th November
The department is hosting a research open evening on Wednesday the 27th of November from 4.30-6.30 pm on the Science Concourse outside the Physics Lecture Theatre. Research groups will be informally presenting their research, with refreshments provided. If you want to find out more about the research that flourishes within the department please come along. The event is open to all. If you have any questions please ask Neil Wilson (Neil.Wilson@warwick.ac.uk

Astronomers have for the first time weighed an Earth-sized planet orbiting another star. Although measuring the radius of exoplanets is relatively straightforward, measuring the planet's mass - and therefore its density, a clue to its composition - is more difficult. The results from two independent teams published in Nature (30 October 2013), one of which a number of UK astronomers, confirm Kepler-78b as the first known Earth-sized exoplanet with an Earth-like density...
Astrophysicists have found the first evidence of a water-rich rocky planetary body outside our solar system in its shattered remains orbiting a white dwarf...
