VUB-onderzoeker Vincent Ginis wint de Young Scientist Award van de Belgian Physical Society. De Belgian Physical Society reikt jaarlijks de Young Scientist Award uit aan een jonge, beloftevolle onderzoeker met minder dan 5 jaar post-doctorale ervaring. De wedstrijd bestaat uit 2 onderdelen. In een voorronde worden de kandidaten geëvalueeerd op basis van een voordracht, met bijzondere aandacht voor de wetenschappelijke waarde van het werk, de technische diepgang én de pedagogische kwaliteiten. Tijdens de plenaire zitting van de jaarlijkse conferentie van de Belgian Physical Society nemen 3 finalisten het vervolgens tegen elkaar op.

Geneva, 13 May 2015. In an article published today in Nature, the CMS and LHCb collaborations, including physicists from the VUB particle physics department, describe the first observation of the very rare decay of the B0s particle into two muon particles. The Standard Model, the theory that best describes the world of particles, predicts that this rare subatomic process happens about four times out of a billion decays, but it has never been seen before. These decays are studied as they could open a window to theories beyond the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry. The analysis is based on data taken at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2011 and 2012. These data also contain early hints of a similar, but even more rare decay into two muons of the B0, a cousin of the B0s.
