Popularity of Nomenclature: PF Reader Poll

In summary, there is ongoing discussion and research about the popularity and viability of different theories in high energy physics, including the Higgs doublet and Two Higgs Doublet model, the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and grand unified models. The MSSM continues to be a main theory under consideration and is supported by the particle data group. However, some recent events measured by LEP may not be compatible with the MSSM, leading to dismissal of research in that area.

which of these expressions are known to you?

I have to confess that I hadn't heard about the Higgs doublet and also about the THDM (Two Higgs Doublet model). I hope to have passed the test though :biggrin:

Do you happen to know if the Minimal supersymmetric standard model is actually considered like a viable theory? There's not much discussion about it at PF.

As far as one can read from the particle data group, it keeps being one of the main theories under consideration. If you go across the evaluation of searches in high energy physics, you will notice that the particles coming from the MSSM are currenntly given more emphasis than, for example, the ones coming from grand unyfied models. For the MSSM a huge range of plots about exclusion areas is done.

In the last year I am afraid that one motivation to dismiss research in the 68 GeV events measured by LEP was -IMHO- that they were not compatible with the minimal supersymmetric model.
 

Related to Popularity of Nomenclature: PF Reader Poll

1. What is the purpose of conducting a PF Reader Poll on the popularity of nomenclature?

The purpose of conducting a PF Reader Poll is to gather data and insights on the current trends and preferences in nomenclature usage among the scientific community. This information can then be used to make informed decisions and recommendations for the standardization of nomenclature in various fields.

2. How is the PF Reader Poll conducted?

The PF Reader Poll is conducted through an online survey that is distributed to a large pool of scientists and researchers. The survey typically includes questions about the respondents' background, their familiarity with nomenclature, and their opinions on the most popular nomenclature systems.

3. What are the most commonly used nomenclature systems according to the PF Reader Poll?

The most commonly used nomenclature systems according to the PF Reader Poll may vary depending on the specific field of science. However, some of the most popular systems include the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) system for chemical nomenclature, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) for botanical names, and the International System of Units (SI) for units of measurement.

4. How often is the PF Reader Poll conducted?

The frequency of the PF Reader Poll may vary, but it is typically conducted every few years to gather updated data and insights on the popularity of nomenclature. This allows for the identification of any changes or trends in nomenclature usage over time.

5. Who can participate in the PF Reader Poll?

The PF Reader Poll is open to all scientists and researchers who have experience or knowledge in the use of nomenclature in their respective fields. Anyone who has received the survey can participate and share their opinions and preferences on nomenclature usage.
