Links to Interesting Physics Sites

Here are a few links to some interesting recent research in fundamental physics.

The Search for QCD Exotics    Read the following article in American Scientist. You can learn more about the Gluonic Excitations experiment at www.gluex.org. This experiment will be performed at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Laboratory JLab in Newport News, Virgina.

LIGO    How do you measure gravitational waves? Take a look at the LIGO experiment. Additional information on this experiment can be found at their web site at www.ligo.org. There is also a very informative site on what they are doing and what they hope to measure at UIUC. This latter site is VERY INTERESTING READING.

The Law of Gravitation    The inverse square law for gravity is an empirical result. Well, just how good is it? The Nuclear Physics group at the University of Washington (Seattle) is exploring just this question. Visit their website at www.npl.washington.edu/eotwash to learn more about this.
