Second, we have been experiencing major problems with our
Windows executables for several months now.
There are "small" result differences between Windows and Linux.
After extensive testing I believe they are due to the Windows
ifort compiler. This will be verified and fixed as soon as I
return to CERN next week. In addition new builds of SixTrack
for Windows, which now include a call boinc_unzip, are failing
on Windows in at least two ways; there is a problem parsing the
hardware description (/proc/cpuinfo on Linux) and secondly we
get "cannot Create Process" errors. So, we shall first try and
build without the hopefully resposible call, and fix the result
differences. We can then resume development of the case splitting
to smaller WUs and the return of all results.

A Higgs boson is not a graviton, AFAIK. It should be a massive particle.

1. A \'graviton\' is a particle that exerts a \"gravitational force\" between two objects.
2. Gravity (or the gravitational force) is the attraction- or [direct] pull- between two objects.

Higgs Boson

1. A Higgs Boson is a particle that gives all other particles mass.
2. Mass warps space. [Einstein]
3. Gravity is the warping of space.

The difference between one and the other is more what effect you expect; to me this means mainly a difference in name...

1. How do you know how many antiprotons that are stored in the trap at a give time?

2. How do actually know that it is antiprotons that are in the trap an not electrons?

Doesn't look like the server upgrade did anything

Because the first part is not quoted at all ... it may be assumed that it could be a different person saying that.

Just my 2/100's of a Quatlu

(I was going to make a joke about the importance of discovering the God particle, but I couldn´t figure out how to phrase it humorously. Anybody want to make a go at it? :) )

Sadly a) that's not how it works and b) LHC doesn't actually have much money CERN != LHC ;-)

If CERN doesn't fund LHC, who does? QMC?
If CERN doesn't fund LHC, how come they get to tell you to take the forums down for 10 days (which messed up several thousand BOINC installs)?

its works but How can i make WIndows remember that???

Select BOINC manager

Then press ctrl-W.


That will get rid of the task bar entry, but keep the system tray icon.

Not sure how reliable a news soucre zpenergy.com is.. but.. yikes!

Article mentions that scientists are studying 'what if' the beam needs to be shut down in case of emergency. There are beam dumps for that.

Maybe someone will generate some work units that simulate this.

The speed of light, according to relativity theory, is an absolute. Nothing goes faster than light

1. A photon- the particle of light- moves at a speed represented by "c"
1. "c" represents the speed of light, or approximately 186000 mph (or mi/h) relative to No-motion/0 mph
2. "P" represents a person testing "c" under various conditions
3. "Pv" represents "P-of-v" or 'velocity of "P"'
4. While Pv=0 m/s or 0 mi/h, c=186000 mi/h (approx.)

Regardless of "Pv", "P" will always find the speed of a photon moving toward or away from him to be equivalent to "c".

(ye olde joke being that the only thing faster than light is dark because it always gets there first)

Do you want to get banned for 31 years, your account and credits deleted at a Boinc project ? Predictor@home is your best choice.

The screen saver is really cool.

So do the points of light actually show how the particles stay bunched up in the beam?

How does magnetic storing of antimatter works?

If I have understood this right a magnetic field is used to keep the antimatter floating in mid air so to speak and preventing it from hitting the walls in the chamber.

My knowledge of how magnets work is very elementary, just based on how magnets used in ordinary life works.

1. Magnetic fields influence electrical charges.
1.a. Transformers are based on the above point: Use a magnetic field to "spin" a current to boost its power.
2. A major point in the definition of "anti-matter" is what type of charge the matter has.
2.a. Electrons are 1(-), Protons are 1(+), Positrons are 1(+), "Anti-Protons" are 1(-).
3. To magnetically influence/control anti-matter involves similar settings to controlling the "normal" matter equivalents where one goal is "Don't let it touch the sides of the container."
3.a. I.E. Magnetically controlling Electrons is 'Electro-Magnetically' the same as "Anti-Protons."

I'm a newbie -- only joined in the past week -- and note that there are no work units coming down the pike to me. Is this a common occurrence?

Currently, yes.

Thanks for your quick response. I thought maybe I'd done something wrong.
