Hi Everyone, Our next LQS group meeting will be Wednesday, June 18, at the new time: 2 PM Eastern. Those at MIT can meet in the LNS conference room. Dial-in info: 510-665-5437, passcode 7336. This week we'll discuss a paper suggested by Peter, "From BCS to the LHC", from the CERN Courier on Jan 21, 2008. It's an interesting review by Weinberg of the developments that led to our current ideas about spontaneous symmetry breaking and how superconductivity theory played a big role. BTW, can someone enlighten me as to whether or not the core idea of spontaneous symmetry breaking contains anything more than the statement, "it just happened that way"? Just curious... By the way, we should expect to have several BaBar papers to review in the next month leading up to ICHEP. Hope you can make it. Thanks, --Ray
