The dawn of multi-messenger astronomy: using KamLAND to study gravitational wave events GW150914 and GW151226

By combining information from gravitational wave events with the detection of astrophysical neutrinos and electromagnetic signatures such as gamma ray

Discovery of a New Particle or a Sick and Twisted Santa?

Good day particle nibblers, The last time I was here I wrote about the potentially exciting “bump” which was observed

Dark matter or Pulsars?

The universe has a way of keeping scientists guessing. For over 70 years, scientists have been trying to understand the

The Fermi LAT Data Depicting Dark Matter Detection

The center of the galaxy is brighter than astrophysicists expected. Could this be the result of the self-annihilation of dark

Can't Stop Won't Stop: The Continuing Search for SUSY

Title: “Search for top squarks in final states with one isolated lepton, jets, and missing transverse momentum in √s = 13

Respecting your "Elders"

Theoretical physicists have designed a new way to explain the how dark matter interactions can explain the observed amount of

QCD, CP, PQ, and the Axion

Before we dig into all the physics behind these acronyms (beyond SM physics! dark matter!), let’s start by breaking

LIGO and Gravitational Waves: A Hep-ex perspective

The exciting Twitter rumors have been confirmed! On Thursday, LIGO finally announced the first direct observation of gravitational waves, a

A New Particle at LHC for Christmas??

Hello particle gobblers and happy new year from my new location at the University of Granada. In between presents and feasting,

Monojet Dark Matter Searches at the LHC

Now is a good time to be a dark matter experiment. The astrophysical evidence for its existence is almost undeniable
