ATLAS closes in on rare Higgs decays
The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z boson and a photon.
A century of quantum mechanics
On 9 July 1925, in a letter to Wolfgang Pauli, Werner Heisenberg revealed his new ideas, which were to revolutionise physics
Elusive romance of top-quark pairs observed at the LHC
The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a fleeting union
LHCb weighs up the Z
New measurement of the mass of the Z boson showcases the Large Hadron Collider’s growing role in precision physics
ALICE eyes the cosmos
New data from the ALICE experiment, collected when no particle beams were circulating in the LHC during pauses in Run 2, may contribute to solving a puzzle surrounding cosmic muons
Early-career researcher input for the European Strategy for Particle Physics
The organisers of the early-career researchers’ white paper for the European Strategy for Particle Physics coordinated a collective effort that provided input for the Strategy update
AI enhances Higgs boson’s charm
The CMS collaboration presents a new search for the decay of a Higgs boson into charm quarks, bringing physicists closer to unravelling how this unique particle endows matter with mass
ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC
Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei
