Wendy Taylor, Canada Research Chair in Experimental Particle Physics and physics professor in 91亚色鈥檚 Faculty of Science & Engineering, spoke with Bob McDonald about the DZero Experiment on CBC Radios鈥 鈥淨uirks & Quarks鈥 May 29.
The interview is .
Taylor and other 91亚色 researchers played a key role in a . The DZero collaboration of scientists at the submitted a finding to the journal Physical Review D, reporting significant differences between matter and antimatter, which run up against current theories of particle physics.
Their research indicates a one per cent difference between the production of pairs of muons and pairs of antimuons in the decay of B mesons produced in high-energy collisions at Fermilab鈥檚 Tevatron particle collider. An independent DZero measurement carried out by 91亚色 researchers and submitted to Physical Review D last month further verifies these results.
