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
-
First observation of photons-to-taus in proton–proton collisions by CMS
Using the outstanding tracking capabilities of the CMS detector, the collaboration observed two photons producing two tau-leptons in proton–proton collisions

Scientists use n_TOF to investigate how cerium is produced in the Universe
The CERN facility allowed scientists to see how this rare Earth metal is synthesised in stars. The results open up new questions about stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of galaxies

LHCb observes a new decay mode of the charmed beauty meson
The result has implications for future searches for rare beauty meson decays and for the interpretation of results from the Fermilab g-2 experiment

AEgIS experiment paves the way for new set of antimatter studies by laser-cooling positronium
In cooling positronium with laser light for the first time, AEgIS may also have taken the first step towards a matter–antimatter system that emits laser-like gamma-ray light

CMS collaboration explores how AI can be used to search for partner particles to the Higgs boson
This search uses computer vision techniques to look for collimated bursts of light, a potential signature of Higgs partner particles
