For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...

Roger Jones receives funding from STFC. I am a member of the ATLAS Collaboration As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is ...

The magnum opus of particle physics is far from complete, requiring physicists to devise many alternatives—some weirder than ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized by physicist David Pines’ theory. This particle, known as the “demon,” ...

After a decade-long analysis, a collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of a key particle – and it may unravel physics as we know it. The new measurement differs ...

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A powerful new particle accelerator that could be set up at Fermilab, a telescope to observe the oldest light in the universe, and research to learn more about mysteries such as dark ...

The Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new particle, the 80th identified so far by the world's most powerful particle ...

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, ...

New, precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider. By Roger Jones / The Conversation Published May 9, 2022 ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...
