A Tau Neutrino Runs into a Candy Shop...

Tau events in the IceCube ultra high energy neutrino detector can be classified depending on how the 'double bang' is

The authors of [1407.3255] have found that the absence of Glashow resonant neutrino events in IceCube is not yet a

Now I know what you're thinking…But photons only `talk to' particles which carry electric charge and the Higgs is electrically

Dark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies

Hi Particle Biters, Last week there were some exciting new results from the Fermi-LAT collaboration in dark matter searches! Dark
