Global Fit to Modified Neutrino Couplings and the Cabibbo-Angle Anomaly
Recently, discrepancies of up to 4σ between the different determinations of the Cabibbo angle were observed. In this context, we point out that this “Cabibbo-angle anomaly” can be explained by lepton flavor universality violating new physics in the neutrino sector. However, modified neutrino couplings to standard model gauge bosons also affect many other observables sensitive to lepton flavor universality violation, which have to be taken into account in order to assess the viability of this explanation.
Mu3e magnet arrived at PSI
After almost three years of planning, design and construction, the 31-ton, 2.6 Tesla superconducting magnet for the Mu3e experiment arrived today at PSI. The magnet delivery is an important milestone in the Mu3e experiment at the Laboratory of Particle Physics LTP, which will search for New Physics in muon decays over the next years.
Auf der Suche nach einer neuen Physik
Mit dem Hochintensitäts-Protonenbeschleuniger HIPA erzeugt das Paul Scherrer Institut Elementarteilchen, um zu klären, wie das Universum aufgebaut ist. Mithilfe von Pionen, Myonen und Neutronen führen die Forschenden Experimente durch, um das Standardmodell der Elementarteilchenphysik zu überprüfen.
Anna Sótér appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor at ETH Zurich
Anna Sótér, currently Lecturer and SNSF Ambizione Fellow at ETH Zurich, formerly member of the PSI Laboratory for Particle Physics and member of the PSI Fellow program, has been appointed Tenure Track Assistant Professor of Low Energy Particle Physics. Anna Sótér’s research is in the area of exotic atoms, where particle physics, atomic physics and quantum optics meet.
Zur Sonne und noch viel weiter
Das PSI beteiligt sich an Projekten der Weltraumforschung. Damit erweitert sich nicht nur das Wissen über unsere astronomische Heimat, sondern festigt sich auch das Renommee der Schweiz als zuverlässiger Entwickler von anspruchsvollem Weltraumequipment.
