Particle Chameleon Caught in the act of Changing

Geneva, 31 May 2010. Researchers on the OPERA experiment at the INFN*’s Gran Sasso laboratory in Italy today announced the first direct observation of a tau particle in a muon neutrino beam sent through the Earth from CERN**, 730km away. This is a significant result, providing the final missing piece of a puzzle that has been challenging science since the 1960s, and giving tantalizing hints of new physics to come.

The neutrino puzzle began with a pioneering and ultimately Nobel Prize winning experiment conducted by US scientist Ray Davies beginning in the 1960s. He observed far fewer neutrinos arriving at the Earth from the Sun than solar models predicted: either solar models were wrong, or something was happening to the neutrinos on their way. A possible solution to the puzzle was provided in 1969 by the theorists Bruno Pontecorvo and Vladimir Gribov, who first suggested that chameleon-like oscillatory changes between different types of neutrinos could be responsible for the apparent neutrino deficit. http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/European-Science-News.html

Shake your shoulders, twist that lightbulb;
this is the story of how Britain Got Bhangra

Award Winning Rifco Arts and Theatre Royal Stratford East in association with Warwick Arts Centre bring you a brand new, first of its kind Bhangra musical, charting the rise of British Bhangra music from the sequin clad 80s through to the RnB fusion of the current charts.

Twinkle arrives in a cold UK, fresh from the fields of the Punjab with a song in his heart and no money in his pocket. Can his talent shine through or will the remixed bling of the 90s DJ ruin his dreams? http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/Oxford-Playhouse.html
