December 16, 2008Full disclosure: the author of the paper I am about to offer for consumption is a friend and colleague. Our paths have crossed professionally once, when he and his then colleagues at UC Davis explored the consequences of some new physics ideas on the decays of Upsilon mesons. These theoretical studies became the basis of [...]

December 14, 2008Whenever a B-factory researcher reconstructs a B meson and wants to model its energy-substituted mass, the go-to function is the so-called “Crystal Ball” function [1]. This function combined a Gaussian for the peak and a power-law for a non-Gaussian, low-side tail. Many younger physicists don’t know that this function takes its proper name from the [...]
