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 ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the machine for a more powerful future. The shutdown is not a sign of trouble so ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

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 ...

The group in charge of the Large Hadron Collider have pushed the giant physics experiment's startup back another six months to the end of September. The European Organization for Nuclear Research, ...
