The "Standard Model" of elementary particle physics is so successful that experimentalists have been pushed to seek rarer and rarer phenomena that may show the first cracks in this structure. Such searches carry with them their own philosophical and psychological pitfalls, and the methodologies to deal with them are not well developed. I will discuss our search for the rare decay K^+ --> pi^+ nu nubar in this context.
Visit us again for more information on the next colloquium to be sponsored by the UMPC, scheduled for the first week of March. If you are planning on attending and have suggestions as to which day would be most convienent, feel free to contact us at our e-mail address below.
The Undergraduate Math and Physics Colloquium organization is a group dedicated to bringing colloquia to the undergraduate math and science community that are educational, entertaining, and inspirational. By presenting cutting-edge topics by distinguished lecturers in a fashion accessible to undergraduates, we hope to enhance the Princeton experience and provide a perspective on careers in math and science.
For more information on our colloquia or lectures, or if you have any suggestions for lecturers you would wish to see, feel free to mail us at umpc@princeton.edu.
