Our second story in the LHC Physics at Ten series visits the LHC’s most important discovery so far
The conference will take place between 22 June and 2 July 2020 and will include both plenary talks and poster sessions
The Higgs boson plays a crucial role in the search for dark matter at the Large Hadron Collider
Further studies could be used to test the Standard Model of particle physics
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations used the full LHC Run 2 dataset to obtain new insights into the interaction
From 18 to 21 April 2020, the American Physical Society (APS) will be holding its April Meeting virtually
The extraordinary session of the CERN Council scheduled for 25 May will be replaced by a discussion via videoconference to determine the next steps in the process
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
