Breaking new ground in the search for dark matter
Our fourth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series discusses the LHC’s hunt for the hypothetical particle that may make up dark matter
Rare phenomenon observed by ATLAS features the LHC as a high-energy photon collider
The ATLAS experiment reports the observation of photon collisions producing weak-force carriers and provides further insights into their interactions.
CERN’s neutrino success story
The CERN Neutrino Platform has proved a major success in enabling European participation in long-baseline neutrino projects in the US and Japan
CERN experiments announce first indications of a rare Higgs boson process
The ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN have announced new results which show that the Higgs boson decays into two muons.
ISOLDE reveals fundamental property of rarest element on Earth
The finding is significant for both fundamental and medical research, as the element is a promising candidate for cancer treatment by targeted alpha therapy
ATLAS result addresses long-standing tension in the Standard Model
A new ATLAS measurement of a key feature of the Standard Model known as lepton flavour universality suggests that a previous discrepancy measured by the LEP collider in W boson decays may be due to a fluctuation
NA62 sees first significant evidence of rare process
The result paves the way for searching for signs of physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics
