At the Japanese High-energy Accelerator Research Organization, KEK, in Tsukuba, about 50 kilometers north of Tokyo, the Belle II experiment has been in operation for about one year now. An ...

Researchers at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have detected a phenomenon that happens only every trillion proton collisions, after observing the production of a single top quark along with a W and ...

Last week, physicists working with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle-smasher at CERN, in Europe, reported that they had detected a Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson particle and a photon.

After a year of experimentation at Japan’s SuperKEKB particle accelerator, physicists say they’re getting close to finding a theorized but yet-undiscovered elementary particle. The team, a group of ...

The Belle II experiment started about one year ago. The work deals with a new particle in the context of dark matter, which accounts for about 25 percent of the universe. The Belle II experiment has ...

Thirty years ago this month, CERN scientists announced the discovery of the Z boson, an elusive elementary particle that transmits the weak force. On June 1, 1983, physicists at CERN's ...

Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that has captivated the physics community for decades. Following up on an unexpected measurement by the ...

Particle tracks from a proton-proton collision (also called an event) in the ATLAS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Events like this are a possible sign of the Higgs particle, though ...
