Bringing black hole jets down to Earth
The Fireball collaboration has used CERN’s HiRadMat facility to produce an analogue of the jets of matter and antimatter that stream out of some black holes and neutron stars
-
Shaking the box for new physics
The CMS collaboration has searched for new physics in a rare decay of a known particle, using an approach that can be likened to shaking a box containing a birthday present to find a clue about what’s inside

Probing matter–antimatter asymmetry with AI
Using a cutting-edge AI algorithm, the CMS collaboration has obtained the first evidence of CP violation in the decay of the strange beauty meson into a pair of muons and a pair of electrically charged kaons

MoEDAL zeroes in on magnetic monopoles
The latest searches conducted by the MoEDAL experiment at the Large Hadron Collider considerably shrink the theoretical arenas in which the hunt for magnetic monopoles can continue
-
Searching for new asymmetry between matter and antimatter
LHCb has conducted a new search for matter–antimatter asymmetry using its full data sets from the first and second runs of the LHC

ATLAS provides first measurement of the W-boson width at the LHC
The measurement is the most precise yet made by a single experiment
-
CERN pays tribute to Peter Higgs
Peter Higgs passed away on 8 April at the age of 94

FASER measures high-energy neutrino interaction strength
The interaction strength of neutrinos had never previously been measured in this energy range
-
The CMS experiment at CERN measures a key parameter of the Standard Model
With this measurement the LHC is again demonstrating its ability to provide very high-precision measurements and bringing new insights into an old mystery

The delicate balance of lepton flavours
New ATLAS measurement of lepton flavour universality, a key feature of the Standard Model, in decays of the W boson is more precise than all previous measurements combined
