The latest experimental data provide more stringent tests of the Standard Model and of rare phenomena of the microworld
The AEgIS collaboration at CERN has found a new way of making long-lived positronium atoms for antimatter gravity experiments
The ATLAS Collaboration has reported the observation of light-by-light scattering with a significance beyond eight standard deviations
CERN will host a scientific symposium to celebrate 40 years of physics with the SPS
The LHCb collaboration has observed a phenomenon known as CP violation in the decays of a particle known as a D0 meson for the first time
The new particle, dubbed the ψ3(1D), was observed in data recorded between 2011 and 2018
A 1000+ page report quantifies the physics potential of the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider
As-yet-undiscovered particles may lie waiting in tube that carried particles for collision within CMS
