LHC Data Continues To Disagree With Supersymmetry
decora writes "Pallab Ghosh of the BBC reports on another piece of evidence hitting the beleaguered Supersymmetry community. Scientists at the Lepton Photon conference in Mumbai, India confirmed that extra levels of B-Meson decay have not been found in the LHC beauty experiment. Coming on the heels of a March report in Nature, this news seems to reinforce what many have suspected all along. Dark Matter is probably not explainable through massive shadow particles like squarks and selectrons, and for all practical purposes, the Supersymmetric Extension of the Standard Model of Physics is dead." -
Pentaquarks
jafuser writes "Physicists are quite confident that they have discovered a new baryonic state called a 'pentaquark' which is a particle composed of *five* quarks (4 quarks and one anti-quark to be precise). Up until now, quarks were only observed to come together in groups of two (mesons) or three (baryons). If you still haven't gotten comfortable with knowing your leptons from your hadrons, I suggest clicking through an excellent site at Particle Adventure." -

Keeping Track of Your Subatomic Particles
Mike Siekkinen writes "For those that have ever wondered how many different subatomic particles are currently classified, here is your answer. It provides a well organized Flash chart of fundamental particles and interactions, as well as printable JPEGs and PDFs. Now you can keep your fermions and your bosons straight. The site also has another chart depicting the history of the universe, highlighting the evolution of the subatomic world." -
