Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same ...
What is meant, when an experiment anticipates less than a quarter of an event, and four are registered by the detector? That ...
The Standard Model of Particle Physics is the best theory scientists have to explain how the universe works on subatomic ...
CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...
The field of particle physics is approaching a critical horizon defined by challenges including unprecedented data volumes and detector complexity. Upcoming ...
“The theoretical framework we developed explains how quasiparticles emerge in systems with an extremely heavy impurity, ...
After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...
As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically ...
Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...
