Imagine a particle so elusive, so rare, that it's difficult even to catch a glimpse of it. That's the challenge researchers face when they try to study the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle—also ...

In a major scientific breakthrough, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have found new information about the Higgs boson, a particle that remains one of the most intriguing in ...

Scientists search for rare decays to test their understanding of how matter behaves. Rare particle decays could provide a unique glimpse of subatomic processes that elude the direct reach of even the ...

CMS employed machine learning to probe rare Higgs decays into charm quarks. The search produced the most stringent limits so ...

Researchers at CERN have observed an exceptionally rare particle decay event, potentially paving the way to uncover new ...

Thanks to its 13.6 TeV collisions, the LHC directly explores distance scales as short as 5 × 10 –20 m. But the energy frontier can also be probed indirectly. By studying rare decays, distance scales ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

Scientists at CERN have reported on their first significant evidence for a process predicted by theory, paving the way for searches for evidence of new physics in particle processes that could explain ...

About a trillion tiny particles called neutrinos pass through you every second. Created during the Big Bang, these “relic” neutrinos exist throughout the entire universe, but they can’t harm you. In ...
