Live Science (New York City, May 22) – Jessie Shelton, a theoretical physicist at Illinois who helped edit a white paper pitching the Massive Timing Hodoscope for Ultra Stable Neutral Particles, says that so far – with the important exception of the Higgs boson detection – the Large Hadron Collider in Europe has been a disappointment. The Higgs boson appeared, but ever since then, even after a series of upgrades to the machine, the hunt for new particles has turned up nothing. That’s why he and other scientists are hoping that MATHUSULA will turn up evidence of particles that scientists believe are still to be discovered.
