(Large Hadron Rap)
Are these goals still accurate or has new knowledge and engineering changed the goals of the detectors?
- sanxiyn 8y agoThe rap is pretty bad. It lists four questions: dark matter, matter-antimatter asymmetry (aka baryogenesis, related to CP violation), Higgs boson, and hierarchy problem (why gravity is so weak; rap alludes extra dimension). We found Higgs boson, which is great. We are no closer to answer other three questions, and frankly, there was no reason to expect LHC to help there, it was all wishful thinking. Sure, it was possible, LHC would do what has never been done, but not very probable.
