In the 1990s, the Liquid Scintillator Neutrino Detector (LSND) in Los Alamos, New Mexico, found a weird anomaly during its experiments on tiny elementary particles called neutrinos. It found far more ...
Such an exponential expansion may seem minor, but it is equivalent to a grape in the palm of your hand swelling to become ...
A collaboration of hundreds of scientists have precisely measured the mass of the W boson, an elementary particle responsible for the weak nuclear force. The researchers found, to their surprise, that ...
Scientists from around the world are at Brown to discuss what is known, and what needs to be learned, about the long-sought particle discovered a decade ago.
How did the universe come into being? There are a multitude of theories on this subject. In a Physical Review Letters paper, ...
Ten years ago, scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, which helps explain why elementary particles (the smallest building blocks of nature) have mass. When you purchase through links ...
Physicists have found that an elementary particle called the W boson appears to be 0.1% too heavy — a tiny discrepancy that could foreshadow a huge shift in fundamental physics. The measurement, ...
Scientists reviewed three experiments that hint at a phenomenon beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, outlines a new report. To anyone but a physicist, it sounds like something out of "Star ...
THE STANDARD MODEL of particle physics—completed in 1973—is the jewel in the crown of modern physics. It predicts the properties of elementary particles and forces with mind-boggling accuracy. Take ...
DEEP UNDER the countryside north of Geneva, straddling the Franco-Swiss border, one of the most advanced scientific machines ever built has been banging subatomic particles together for more than a ...
Scientists have spotted a famously elusive particle: The axion - first predicted 42 years ago as an elementary particle in extensions of the standard model of particle physics. Scientists at the Max ...
In an earlier study, Hermann Nicolai from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute/AEI) at Potsdam Science Park and Krzysztof Meissner from the Faculty of Physics ...
