University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

The CMS Collaboration investigated in detail events in which a top quark and an anti‑top quark are produced together in high‑energy proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using the full 138 fb⁻¹ ...

Light and heavy New calculations reveal quark distributions in flavour-asymmetric mesons. (Courtesy: iStock Traffic-Analyzer) The distribution of quarks inside flavour-asymmetric mesons has been ...

They came from institutions worldwide, built the world's most powerful accelerator, smashed tiny bits of matter together at nearly the speed of light and produced something remarkable: a fundamental ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is not just the biggest particle accelerator on our planet. It also produces smashing headlines for the news in science. On June 4, scientists working at the two of the ...

A new review published in EPJ H by Clara Matteuzzi, Research Director at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) and former tenured professor at the University of Milan, and her colleagues, ...

As they probe deeper into the heart of the atom, discovering ever smaller and more mysterious particles and particles within particles, scientists have succeeded in bringing the once stable world of ...

PARIS, Oct 5: What are the smallest building blocks of matter? How do they function? And what forces hold them together? For the past century, physicists striving to build a conceptual architecture to ...

Probing ever deeper into the inner world of the atom, nuclear physicists have uncovered an increasingly baffling collection of tiny particles. Besides the familiar neutrons, electrons and protons, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Dark matter, which is thought to account for nearly a quarter of matter in the universe (but has yet to be observed), has perplexed physicists for decades. They’re constantly ...

A new review examines the three decades of the LHCb experiment, its achievements and future potential. A new review published in EPJ H by Clara Matteuzzi, Research Director at the National Institute ...
