The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to a explosion of new physics. Now, some scientists think that hidden physics may ...

Why did this particle mysteriously disintegrate?

Something odd is happening deep inside the data streams from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. A set of “forbidden” patterns in how unstable particles decay, combined with rare Higgs events and a ...

current theory that attempts to describe matter. Their research will be published in Physical Review Letters (in press). "It could mean some of the standard and accepted theories on matter will need ...

For more than half a century, particle physicists have theorized the existence of a “glueball,” a particle made entirely of gluons. While the past few decades have produced some compelling candidates, ...

Karthik Suresh’s doctoral dissertation on meson decay in the ongoing GlueX Collaboration at Jefferson Lab has just earned the prestigious 2023 Jefferson Science Associates (JSA) Thesis Prize. NEWPORT ...

The study of mesons under the influence of strong magnetic fields in nuclear matter has emerged as a pivotal area in contemporary nuclear and particle physics. In these extreme conditions, mesonic ...

The physicist César Lattes, who is honored today (July 11) in a Google Doodle, is famous across Latin America for his discovery of the pion — a subatomic particle produced by shockwaves from exploding ...

GENEVA (Reuters) - CERN researchers said on Monday they have spotted a particle reshaping into two others in their Large Hadron Collider, a breakthrough that could be crucial in exploring physics ...

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...
