“It’s just fucking exciting! …is this being recorded?” - Nima Arkani-Hamed’s closing argument during the muon collider session at APS April.

Symmetry makes life easier for physicists. New “higher form” symmetries are proving to be mathematically useful within quantum field theory. Kevin Hartnett reports: quantamagazine.org/a-new-kind-of-…

New KITP Program! #PARTICLES25 What is Particle Theory? Dates: 1/6/25-4/11/25 kitp.ucsb.edu/activities/par…

Science contrarian bingo.

One of the most interesting developments in particle physics over the past few years is the enthusiasm—and boy is there enthusiasm—around a potential muon collider, especially given that its prospects seemed over a decade ago. scientificamerican.com/article/partic…

Time to shoot for the muon! redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/Shoo…

THIS. IS. OUR. MUON. SHOT!

LETS FUCKING COLLIDE MUONS

Holy forking shirtballs, what an amazing #P5Report. This is our #MuonShot.

Muon Shot! #P5report

Personal #p5report mood this morning: youtube.com/watch?v=SSbBvK…

Wow. Opening paragraph of NYT article on P5 report centers on a muon collider: "Particle physicists should begin laying the groundwork for a revolutionary particle collider that could be built on American soil, a committee of scientists wrote..." nytimes.com/2023/12/07/sci…

An accelerator known as a muon collider could revolutionize particle physics—if it can be built. Read that story and more this week in Science: scim.ag/6or

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider: symmetrymagazine.org/article/this-i…

New paper tonight with some old friends: we explore the implications of the DESI neutrino mass measurement. When we extend neutrino mass to allow for negative values, we find a 3 sigma exclusion of the minimum sum, 58 meV (posterior below) arxiv.org/abs/2405.00836

Nathaniel Craig Nathaniel Craig 🇺🇦 (UC Santa Barbara) surveys the central questions of modern particle physics and the prospects for answering them with a muon collider. Watch the latest Friends of #KITP Chalk Talk and learn more about the rich physics of muons youtu.be/U8jkBsrcK0U
