The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics — potentially a new force of…
Results announced by the LHCb experiment at CERN have revealed further hints for phenomena that cannot be explained by our current theory of fundamental physics….
Discovery of a new exotic hadron containing two charm quarks and an up and a down antiquark. Recently, the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment…
After more than two years of maintenance and upgrades, the Pixel Tracker has been installed at the center of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector…
Antimatter is believed to play a huge part in the story of our universe. It’s the counterpart to matter: identical in every way – with…
Important milestone for next-generation acceleration experiment. The future of particle acceleration has begun. Awake is a promising concept for a completely new method with which…
The standard model of particle physics encapsulates our current knowledge of elementary particles and their interactions. However, the standard model is not complete; for example,…
The result opens the door to considerably more precise studies of the response of antimatter to light and of how it behaves under the influence…
Scientists at UZH and CERN have just released new intriguing results. According to the international research collaboration that runs the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb)…
Imperial physicists are part of a team that has announced ‘intriguing’ results that potentially cannot be explained by our current laws of nature. The LHCb…
For 50 years, the research community has been hunting unsuccessfully for the so-called Odderon particle. Now, a Swedish-Hungarian research group has discovered the mythical particle…
University of Chicago researchers hunt for proposed particles that could explain quirks of the universe. A team of researchers at the University of Chicago recently…
The bounds are some of the tightest yet on the existence of third-generation leptoquarks. At the most fundamental level, matter is made up of two…
High-precision measurements of the strong interaction between stable and unstable particles. The positively charged protons in atomic nuclei should actually repel each other, and yet…
The result opens the path to study in a new and unique way the extreme state of matter that is thought to have existed shortly…
The Higgs boson reached overnight fame in 2012 when it was finally discovered in a jumble of other particles generated at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider…
CERN’s Timepix particle detectors, developed by the Medipix2 Collaboration, help unravel the secret of a long-lost painting by the great Renaissance master, Raphael. 500 years…
The CERN Control Centre (CCC) is abuzz once again. The second long shutdown (LS2) has come to an end for CERN’s newest accelerator – Linac 4…
