Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

A possible crack in the standard model of particle physics seems to be shrinking, as new data from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) contradicts a previous puzzling result that had physicists excited ...

In a particle collider at CERN, a rarely-seen event is bringing us tantalizingly close to the brink of new physics. From years of running what is known as the NA62 experiment, particle physicist ...

Join me as I explore CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC ...

The unusually large Muon has threatened the Standard Model for decades, but new data parks the particle inside the cozy confines of established physics. Reading time 3 minutes Another nail may seal ...

Harald Fox receives funding from UKRI. Peter Higgs, who gave his name to the subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson, has died aged 94. He was always a modest man, especially when considering that ...
