Invisible Labor and the "Ghost Particle": Underground Physics at the Kolar Gold Fields. [PDF]
Ber WissAbstract When cosmic rays—high‐energy particles from outer space—encounter the Earth's atmosphere, they produce particles called neutrinos. To detect them, physicists go underground inside deep mines where the overlying rock can filter out the cosmic‐ray background radiation.

Theoretical and Experimental Challenges in the Measurement of Neutrino Mass
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Neutrino masses are yet unknown. We discuss the present state of effective electron antineutrino mass from β decay experiments; effective Majorana neutrino mass from neutrinoless double‐beta decay experiments; neutrino mass squared differences from neutrino oscillation: solar, atmospheric, reactor, and accelerator‐based experiments; sum of neutrino ...

WHY IS GOD'S REVELATION SO VAGUE? A MULTIVERSE THEORY OF REVELATION AND DIVINE HIDDENNESS
Zygon®, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 576-594, September 2022., 2022 Abstract This article has two main parts. The first part argues in favor of a multiverse theodicy. God has created our particular universe because it contains unique goods. While God could have made our universe better, that would in fact have turned our universe into another universe, which God has also created.

Revisiting the Limits of Atmospheric Temperature Retrieval From Cosmic‐Ray Measurements
Earth and Space Science, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Abstract A priori, cosmic‐ray measurements offer a unique capability to determine the vertical profile of atmospheric temperatures directly from ground. However, despite the increased understanding of the impact of the atmosphere on cosmic‐ray rates, attempts to explore the technological potential of the latter for atmospheric physics remain very ...

Boosted Tau Lepton as a Microscope and Macroscope
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Anomalies from the LHCb lepton flavour universality and Fermilab muon anomalous magnetic moment show tantalizing hints of possible new physics from the lepton sectors. Due to its large mass and shorter lifetime than muon, the tau lepton is believed to couple more to possible new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Central spherical detector is one of the most essential and complicated support systems for the large‐scale underground neutrino observatory. If a central spherical detector accident happens, the consequences may be disastrous with huge economic loss. However, there is very few published research works which focus on its quantitative risk analysis.

The Nonsymmetric Flavor Transition Matrix and the Apparent P Violation
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The leptonic mixing parameters of high precision and the next‐generation neutrino telescopes make it possible to test new physics in the flavor transition of the high‐energy astrophysical neutrinos (HAN). We introduce a nonsymmetric matrix to modify the predictions of the standard flavor transition matrix.

Calculated Event Rates for Axion Detection via Atomic and Nuclear Processes
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The possibility of detection of 5.5 MeV and 14.4 keV solar axions by observing axion‐induced nuclear and atomic transitions is investigated. The presence of nuclear transitions between spin orbit partners can be manifested by the subsequent deexcitation via gamma ray emissions.

The aesthetics of scientific experiments
Philosophy Compass, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2021., 2021 Abstract This article explores the aesthetic dimensions of scientific experimentation, addressing specifically how aesthetic features enter the construction, evaluation and reception of an experiment. I highlight the relationship between experiments and artistic acts in the early years of the Royal Society where experiments do not serve only epistemic ...
