Higgs10: Ten things we’ve learned about the Higgs boson in the past ten years
Since its discovery in 2012, the Higgs boson has become one of the most powerful tools to probe our understanding of nature and, with that, examine some of the biggest open questions in physics today.
ATLAS measures joint polarisation of carriers of the weak force
Joint-polarisation measurements of the W and Z bosons provide new opportunities to look for physics beyond the Standard Model
CMS measures rare particle decay with high precision
Using LHC Run 2 data, CMS has precisely measured the rare decay of strange B-mesons to muon-antimuon pairs. While its properties agree with Standard Model predictions, it may provide clues to new discoveries in Run 3
LHCb discovers three new exotic particles
The collaboration has observed a new kind of “pentaquark” and the first-ever pair of “tetraquarks”
ATLAS and CMS release results of most comprehensive studies yet of Higgs boson’s properties
The collaborations have used the largest samples of proton–proton collision data recorded so far by the experiments to study the unique particle in unprecedented detail
The Higgs boson, ten years after its discovery
The discovery of the Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider and the progress made since then, have allowed physicists to make tremendous steps forward in our understanding of the universe
LHC Run 3: physics at record energy starts tomorrow
The Large Hadron Collider is ready to once again start delivering proton collisions to experiments, this time at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, marking the start of the accelerator’s third run of data taking for physics
Higgs10: When spring 2012 turned to summer
It was just a few short weeks in mid-2012, but they were so intense that it felt like years. As 4 July drew near, the ATLAS and CMS experiments could sense that they were homing in on something big.
Searching for matter–antimatter asymmetry with the Higgs boson
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have searched for matter–antimatter asymmetry in the interaction between the Higgs boson and the tau lepton
Higgs10: Big Bang Day
On 10 September 2008, the LHC circulated its first beams. It may not have been all plain sailing from then on, but the adventure had begun.
