I actually got quite a bit of stuff done in ISR today. First of all, I emailed Mary-Beth at the Canda France Hawaii Telescope about a possible internship opportunity. I also completed the theoretical section of my website which focuses on supersymmetry, tetraquarks, pentaquarks, dibaryons, glueballs, and sterile neutrinos.

After that, I did some research on charge conjugation parity. Charge conjugation parity is the property of subatomic particles that determines whether it is a matter or antimatter particle. C-parity can either equal 1 or -1; if it is minus one then it is antimatter and if it is 1 then it is normal matter. This means that in the case of quarkonium if the sum of the orbital momentum and the total spin is odd then it is antimatter as C=(-1)^(L+S). When reading about C-parity CPT Theorem came up, which has to do with C-parity, parity reversal, and time reversal. This is what I plan to research more next ISR class.
