The standard model of particle physics may be due for a philosophical remodel, including rethinking what qualifies each of its particles to count as a particle to begin with. Whether a particle is ...

The electron-flavor neutrino and its anti-particle are especially important in the transfer of energy and synthesis of elements in a supernova. Knowing the energy of flavor states of these neutrinos ...

Today the international LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) presented new measurements of rare particle transformations, or decays, that provide one of the highest-precision tests ...

Neutrinos are fundamental leptons that interact only via the weak force and gravity, making them extraordinarily elusive. The discovery of neutrino flavour oscillations demonstrated that these ...

The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to an explosion of new physics as many predicted. Now, some scientists think that hidden physics may be hiding beyond LHC’s view.

Researchers from the CMS collaboration have analysed data from proton-proton collisions in an attempt to find cracks in the Standard Model of particle physics The CMS detector at CERN has continues to ...

Effective field theory (EFT) provides a systematic framework for describing the phenomena of particle physics at energies below a chosen cutoff scale. By integrating out heavy degrees of freedom, EFT ...

The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle smasher, Europe's CERN physics laboratory announced Tuesday. The new particle ...
