Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Scientists at CERN have made a massive achievement after they began powering a 312-foot ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

Following a two-year shutdown for maintenance and upgrades, Ned Stafford looks at how the LHC has been improved to allow researchers to hunt for new particles Power boost The upgrade and maintenance ...

CERN has begun powering its 312-foot Inner Triplet String test stand, a full-scale replica of the High-Luminosity LHC's inner triplet focusing region. The milestone follows a successful cryogenic ...
