ATLAS gets under the hood of the Higgs mechanism
The detection of longitudinally polarised W boson production at the Large Hadron Collider is an important step towards understanding how the primordial electroweak symmetry broke, giving rise to the masses of elementary particles
CMS finds unexpected excess of top quarks
Data from the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider reveals an intriguing excess of top-quark pairs, hinting at the first observation of a composite particle with unique properties
Symmetry between up and down quarks is more broken than expected
Surprising results from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN show that this so-called isospin asymmetry could point to gaps in physicists’ understanding of how quarks and gluons combine
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
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
Exotic atomic nucleus sheds light on the world of quarks
CERN and the Accelerator Laboratory in Jyväskylä, Finland, have teamed up to weigh in on the understanding of the effects of the weak force on quarks
CMS presents its latest search for new exotic particles
This search for exotic long-lived particles looks at the possibility of “dark photon” production, which would occur when a Higgs boson decays into muons displaced in the detector
ATLAS measures strength of the strong force with record precision
The result showcases the power of the LHC to push the precision frontier and improve our understanding of nature
ATLAS sets record precision on Higgs boson’s mass
New result from the ATLAS experiment at CERN reaches the unprecedented precision of 0.09%
LHCb tightens precision on key measurements of matter–antimatter asymmetry
The LHCb collaboration’s new measurements of matter–antimatter asymmetry in decays of beauty particles are the most precise yet of their kind
