Large Hadron Collider has ended W boson fever. "We have to search for new physics elsewhere," one researcher says. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Nearly four decades ago, researchers at CERN identified a massive, electrically neutral particle known as the Z boson. This was a big breakthrough in particle physics, as the Z boson is responsible ...

For a few years, one of particle physics’ most unsettling numbers seemed to be pointing somewhere strange. The trouble centered on the W boson, a heavy particle that carries the weak force, one of the ...

Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that has captivated the physics community for decades. Following up on an unexpected measurement by the ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

Laser-assisted particle interactions and scattering represent a rapidly emerging field in high-energy and quantum physics, where the interplay between intense electromagnetic fields and particle ...
