Smashing protons together in search of strange particles, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva say they’ve discovered signs of particle decays that have long been predicted, but ...

An effort to explore rare decays of ‘beauty’ particles is among the most promising lines of enquiry. ... Rare particle decays offer hope of new physics. Nature 546, 185–186 (2017) ...

Explain it in 60 seconds. Rare particle decays could provide a unique glimpse of subatomic processes that elude the direct reach of even the most powerful particle colliders on Earth. Their ...

Silver-110’s decay reveals a promising path to measure antineutrino mass. New data could reshape future neutrino studies.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have just announced the detection of a rare particle decay “harder to find than the famous Higgs particle.”The strange B meson is certainly a lot less ...

Studying the decays will help scientists understand the forces acting behind the scenes that result in B mesons decaying to matter more than antimatter. In a paper published this week in Physics ...

Now, for the first time, scientists have observed this rare decay, and they have found that it might have slightly higher odds of occurring than its predicted chance of about one in 10 billion.

In a particle collider at CERN, a rarely-seen event is bringing us tantalizingly close to the brink of new physics. From years of running what is known as the NA62 experiment, particle physicist ...

An extremely rare particle measurement from the world's largest atom smasher could cast doubt on a popular theory about the fundamental building blocks of the universe, including dark matter.

Rare B meson decays continue to be of great interest to scientists. With the B s meson to muons decay firmly established and measured with high precision, scientists are now setting their sights ...

Not all the decays of the silver-110 isomer lead to the state at 3008.41 keV in cadmium-110. To estimate their fraction, shell-model calculations were performed.
