Leptoquarks, the Higgs boson and the muon’s magnetism
A new study shows that a class of new unknown particles that could account for the muon’s magnetism, known as leptoquarks, could also affect the Higgs boson’s transformation into muons
ALICE finds that charm hadronisation differs at the LHC
New measurements by the ALICE collaboration show that the way charm quarks form hadrons in proton-proton collisions differs significantly from expectations based on electron collider measurements
