Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...
For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...
An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high ...
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 ...
Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...
No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...
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 ...
Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...
From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...
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 ...
New, precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider. By Roger Jones / The Conversation Published May 9, 2022 ...
