LOGARITHMS AND THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELEMENTARY PARTICLES

By George Sterman, Director of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics Most of us would agree that addition and subtraction are simpler than multiplication and division, at least for big numbers. And this is not just for people who lack an affinity for math. When quantitative astronomy began in earnest, astronomers like Tycho Brahe … Read more

Young-Kee Kim Young-Kee Kim, an experimental particle physicist, is Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago.  She has devoted much of her research to understanding the origin of mass for fundamental particles by studying two of the most massive particles (the W boson and the … Read more
