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 ...

For a while, in the Middle Ages, there was a real craze for trying to turn unassuming lead into pure, gleaming gold. Perhaps those ancient alchemists should have been building a particle collider.

In a week of notable physics advances, scientists developed an AI-based method to improve muon tracking in Large Hadron Collider simulations, refined muon energy estimation in the MicroBooNE detector, ...

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

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a “ghost” signal that has haunted theory for decades. The detection of these ...

Scientists turned the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) back on after a three-year shutdown. The Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest particle accelerator. Physicists and people interested in ...

Physicists at the world’s largest atom collider have observed three new exotic particles as they continue to search for clues about the mysterious forces that bind subatomic particles together, they ...

On Wednesday morning, the first particle beam was successfully sent around the full circuit of the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known as CERN. The new ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is the world's largest atom smasher, may have just made one of the greatest scientific discoveries in recent memory. If matter and antimatter existed in equal ...
