The collaboration reports a value for the Higgs boson’s lifetime that has a small enough uncertainty to confirm that the particle has a tiny lifetime
Bismuth isotopes also alternate from spheres to rugby balls
The unusual nuclear physics phenomenon, first discovered at CERN’s ISOLDE facility 50 years ago, had until now been seen only in mercury isotopes
ALICE takes the next step in understanding the interaction between hadrons
The ALICE collaboration has for the first time observed the residual strong interaction between protons and phi mesons
