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 ...

Building experimental evidence suggests that the electron, muon and tau may feel different forces. When the tau lepton was discovered in the 1970s, it didn’t resolve any outstanding mysteries—it ...

MACE is a next-generation experiment designed to catch muonium transforming into its antimatter twin, a process that would ...

Exploring Lepton Flavor ViolationLed by researchers from Sun Yat-sen University, the Institute of Modern Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Jet constituents are given as the input to a ML model to predict properties of the hadronically decaying tau leptons. In order to find rare processes from collider data, scientists use computer ...

Researchers from the CMS collaboration have analysed data from proton-proton collisions in an attempt to find cracks in the Standard Model of particle physics The CMS detector at CERN has continues to ...

The Standard Model of particles and interactions is remarkably successful for a theory everyone knows is missing big pieces. It accounts for the everyday stuff we know like protons, neutrons, ...
