ALICE sees the ridge in simplest collisions yet
The observation brings physicists a step closer to finding the origin of collective phenomena in small collision systems
-
W boson turns 40
Forty years ago today, physicists at CERN announced to the world that they had discovered the electrically charged carrier of the weak force, one of nature’s four fundamental forces

CAST-CAPP inches closer to axion dark matter
The CAPP axion haloscope at the CAST experiment has hunted for axions from the Milky Way’s “halo” of dark matter, and has narrowed down the theoretical space in which to look for these hypothetical particles
-
Searching for matter–antimatter asymmetry with the Higgs boson
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have searched for matter–antimatter asymmetry in the interaction between the Higgs boson and the tau lepton
-
CMS tries out the seesaw
The collaboration has put the seesaw model of neutrino mass to a new test
-
MoEDAL gets a new detector
The new detector, known as MAPP, will increase the physics reach of the MoEDAL experiment and the Large Hadron Collider
-
Homing in on the Higgs boson’s interaction with the charm quark
New ATLAS and CMS analyses place tight limits on the strength of the Higgs boson’s interaction with the charm quark
-
ATLAS and CMS chase the invisible with the Higgs boson
The collaborations have set stringent new bounds on the fraction of Higgs bosons transforming into invisible particles
-
ISOLDE data get deluxe theoretical treatment
A unique combination of high-quality experimental data and several state-of-the-art nuclear-physics models has resulted in an excellent agreement between experiment and theory
-
A crunching multiverse to solve two physics puzzles at once
A duo of theorists proposes a new theory to explain both the surprisingly small mass of the Higgs boson and the puzzling symmetry properties of the strong force
