CLOUD challenges current understanding of aerosol particle formation in polar and marine regions
The results imply that climate models are underestimating the formation rates of aerosol particles
Making the leap from the impossible to the possible
During the LHC era and on the cusp of the High-Luminosity LHC era, theoretical and experimental physicists are already using precision calculations to find the smallest deviations that might reveal new physics
Exotic atomic nucleus sheds light on the world of quarks
CERN and the Accelerator Laboratory in Jyväskylä, Finland, have teamed up to weigh in on the understanding of the effects of the weak force on quarks
Thick-skinned: Scientists determine the thickness of neutron “skin” in lead-208 nuclei
This is the first measurement of the neutron skin of lead-208 using exchanges predominantly involving gluons and it can provide insight into the structure of nuclei and neutron stars
ISOLDE sees shape shifting in gold nuclei
The finding comes a little more than 50 years after the phenomenon was first discovered at the facility in mercury nuclei
CMS presents its latest search for new exotic particles
This search for exotic long-lived particles looks at the possibility of “dark photon” production, which would occur when a Higgs boson decays into muons displaced in the detector
ATLAS and CMS unite to weigh in on the top quark
The new result combines 15 previous measurements to give the most precise determination of the top-quark mass to date
In search of supersymmetric dark matter
The ATLAS collaboration sets stringent limits on the existence of supersymmetric dark matter particles
From partons to hadrons
The CMS collaboration sheds light on hadron formation
ATLAS measures strength of the strong force with record precision
The result showcases the power of the LHC to push the precision frontier and improve our understanding of nature
