The new analysis continues to find tension with the Standard Model, but more data are needed to identify its cause
The XXIX International Conference on Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics will be held on 22-27 June 2020 in Chicago, IL USA
The measurements are consistent with predictions for “normal” matter and pave the way for future precision studies
The MoEDAL collaboration at CERN reports the first search at a particle accelerator for particles with both electric and magnetic charge
An experiment performed at CERN’s ISOLDE facility shows that the nucleus of the isotope radium-222 is pear-shaped
Knowledge of this almost uncharted region could help cast light on how gold and other heavy elements form in the universe
For the first time, LHCb uses beauty baryons to test this key principle of the Standard Model
PANIC2020 will be held in Lisbon from 31 August to 4 September 2020
The 2020 European School of High-Energy Physics will take place from 17 to 30 June in Israel
