県が一関市大東町大原に整備を進めていた国道３４３号大原バイパスは２８日、全線開通した。国際リニアコライダー（ＩＬＣ）計画の幹線道として効果が期待されている。(On 28 March, the Ohara bypass road was completed and opening ceremony was held. This road is expected to be used as a main transport route for the construction of the ILC)

Now the scientists of the OPERA experiment can claim the observation of the extremely rare neutrino oscillation in the tau channel.

岩手県が児童・生徒向けに制作を進めていた国際リニアコライダー（ＩＬＣ）計画の解説動画が完成し、23日、盛岡市の岩手教育会館で披露された。(Iwate prefecture produced the ILC promotion video for children, and about 200 audience enjoyed its first screening at Morioka city on 23 March.)

Together the four experiments pooled their data analysis power to arrive at a new world’s best value for the mass of the top quark of 173.34 plus/minus 0.76 GeV/c2.(…) “Collaborative competition is the name of the game,” said CERN’s Director General Rolf Heuer. “Competition between experimental collaborations and labs spurs us on, but collaboration such as this underpins the global particle physics endeavour and is essential in advancing our knowledge of the universe we live in.”

Unlike the Higgs result, this one opens up many possibilities, so in the coming days and weeks, we can expect a deluge of papers chewing over the results from BICEP2 and its rivals. Modelling inflation is a bit like playing whack-a-mole; while the new result will knock some out, more will pop up to take their place. And there are deeper questions. Why did inflation happen at all, and what is behind it? What does it mean for the fate of our universe – and of others?
