ATLAS and CMS chase the invisible with the Higgs boson
The collaborations have set stringent new bounds on the fraction of Higgs bosons transforming into invisible particles
CERN fellow wins Buchalter Cosmology Prize
Dr Azadeh Maleknejad, a fellow in the Theoretical Physics department, was awarded second prize for her work on axion physics on 2 February 2022
ISOLDE data get deluxe theoretical treatment
A unique combination of high-quality experimental data and several state-of-the-art nuclear-physics models has resulted in an excellent agreement between experiment and theory
A crunching multiverse to solve two physics puzzles at once
A duo of theorists proposes a new theory to explain both the surprisingly small mass of the Higgs boson and the puzzling symmetry properties of the strong force
ATLAS gives new insight into the internal structure of the proton
During the Lepton Photon Conference this week, the ATLAS collaboration presented a new paper that describes how partons interact within the proton
BASE breaks new ground in matter–antimatter comparisons
The collaboration has made the most precise comparison yet between protons and antiprotons and tested whether or not they behave in the same way under the influence of gravity
CMS homes in on Higgs boson’s lifetime
The collaboration reports a value for the Higgs boson’s lifetime that has a small enough uncertainty to confirm that the particle has a tiny lifetime
Bismuth isotopes also alternate from spheres to rugby balls
The unusual nuclear physics phenomenon, first discovered at CERN’s ISOLDE facility 50 years ago, had until now been seen only in mercury isotopes
ALICE takes the next step in understanding the interaction between hadrons
The ALICE collaboration has for the first time observed the residual strong interaction between protons and phi mesons
