Tag: Standard Model
The Standard Model of particle physics is a theory concerning the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear interactions, which mediate the dynamics of the known subatomic particles. It was developed throughout the latter half of the 20th century, as a collaborative effort of scientists around the world.

LHC experiments see first evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have joined forces to establish the first evidence of the rare decay of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a photon
-
LHCb brings leptons into line
Simultaneous measurements of rare B-meson decays using the full LHC Run 1 and 2 data samples agree with the predictions of the Standard Model, superseding previous results that had indicated intriguing departures from the 50-year old theory

ATLAS measures Higgs boson’s decay width
The decay width is linked to the particle’s lifetime and if found to deviate from its predicted value could indicate the presence of new physics
