The retrieval of particle size distributions from measured scattering or attenuation data constitutes a classic inverse problem, whereby one seeks to infer an underlying size spectrum from indirect ...

The increasing complexity and high-dimensional nature of real-world optimization problems necessitate the development of advanced optimization algorithms. Traditional Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) ...

The model we have for understanding the universe’s fundamental particles is a bit like a gearbox: one tiny change to any one single particles’ properties throws off the mechanics of the other ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the Ξ cc ⁺ ...

A new tool to break down and segment large data set problems and problems with many parameters in particle physics could have a wide range of applications. One of the major challenges in particle ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...
