Welcome to the Imperial HEP Blog!

It is January 2007 and we have seen neither the Higgs boson nor signs of Supersymmetry, we do not really know the full nature of CP violation in the universe, hadronic or leptonic, nor whether there is a third (or fourth and fifth???) mixing in neutrinos and whether they are their own antiparticles....

We do not know who will be the next Rector of Imperial College, the gender of the next President of the United States, whether the Gulf Stream will stop, and turn the Thames Estuary into the Gulf of St Lawrence, and more importantly, who will gain promotion to the Premiership this year.

We do not know what dark matter is made of, what "dark energy" represents, how the fundamental forces can be unified, and what the three generations and their mass spectra are all about.

The answers to these and many more questions may lie in the messages to follow....
