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…
The particle, which has been called X(2900), was detected by analyzing all the data LHCb has recorded so far from collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron…
The nature of dark matter remains one of the great unsolved puzzles of fundamental physics. Unexplained by the Standard Model, dark matter has led scientists…
Probing Dark Matter With the Higgs Boson Visible matter – everything from pollen to stars and galaxies – accounts for roughly 15% of the total…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider have seen evidence of a new type of decay not yet observed: the Higgs boson…
The latest on the Large Hadron Collider’s hunt for the hypothetical particle that may make up dark matter. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is renowned…
A new ATLAS measurement of a key feature of the Standard Model known as lepton flavor universality suggests that a previous discrepancy measured by the…
International team of scientists with Mainz participation proposes plans for high-intensity gamma radiation source at CERN. The ‘Gamma Factory initiative’ – an international team of scientists…
The LHCb collaboration has observed an exotic particle made up of four charm quarks for the first time. The Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) collaboration…
Over the past thirty years, the exploration of the infinitely small has gone hand-in-hand with advances in superconducting magnets. The increasingly powerful hadron colliders, from…
Cosmic-ray data collected by the AMS detector on the International Space Station again challenge conventional theory of cosmic-ray origin and propagation. Ever since astronauts attached…
The ALICE collaboration has presented new results on the production rates of antideuterons based on data collected at the highest collision energy delivered so far…
The effect of nitric acid on aerosol particles in the atmosphere may offer an explanation for the smog seen engulfing cities on frosty days. Under…
In a new result released today, the ATLAS Collaboration announced strong evidence of the production of four top quarks. This rare Standard Model process is expected…
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations used the full LHC Run 2 dataset to obtain new insights into the interaction. Recent years have seen the study…
An innovative technology used to align the components of accelerators is breaking through into the field of telecommunications. The structured laser beam system, developed by…
Weighing In on the Origin of Heavy Elements A long-held mystery in the field of nuclear physics is why the universe is composed of the…
