The eagerly awaited result is the most precise measurement of the W mass made at the LHC so far, and is in line with the prediction from the Standard Model of particle physics
The experiment has developed a new device for cooling antiprotons more efficiently and for considerably increasing the precision of measurements of their fundamental properties
Carlo Rubbia’s name is closely related to the discovery of the W and Z particles at CERN. In 1984, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, together with Simon van der Meer, for the work he had done as head of the UA1 collaboration
