An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high ...

Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles — the standard model of particle physics — ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

Scientists spent decades chasing signs of a mysterious new force hidden inside the muon, one of nature’s strangest particles.

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...
