SHINE shines a light on neutrino beams
The NA61 experiment at CERN, also known as SHINE, has made new measurements that will help physicists work out the content of neutrino beams used in experiments in the US
LHC experiments see first evidence of a rare Higgs boson decay
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have joined forces to establish the first evidence of the rare decay of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a photon
ISOLDE takes a solid tick forward towards a nuclear clock
The observation at CERN’s nuclear physics facility of a long-sought decay of the thorium-229 nucleus in a solid-state system is a key step towards a clock that could outclass today’s most precise atomic clocks
Probing fundamental symmetries of nature with the Higgs boson
The ATLAS collaboration tested Higgs-boson interactions with the carriers of the weak force, looking for signs of charge-parity symmetry violation
ALICE sees the ridge in simplest collisions yet
The observation brings physicists a step closer to finding the origin of collective phenomena in small collision systems
Where does the Higgs boson come from?
The observed mass of the Higgs boson is, from the theoretical point of view, unnaturally small. This conundrum is forcing physicists to explore exotic explanations.
ATLAS and CMS observe simultaneous production of four top quarks
The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have both observed the simultaneous production of four top quarks, a rare phenomenon that could hold the key to physics beyond the Standard Model
New LHC experiments enter uncharted territory
The first observation of collider neutrinos at the LHC paves the way for exploring new physics scenarios
W boson turns 40
Forty years ago today, physicists at CERN announced to the world that they had discovered the electrically charged carrier of the weak force, one of nature’s four fundamental forces
ATLAS delivers most precise luminosity measurement at the LHC
Precise knowledge of luminosity is crucial for both searches for new phenomena and precision measurements of known Standard Model processes
