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 ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Most of the time, the tau particle decays after traveling only a very short distance, making the two balls of light overlap so much that they are indistinguishable from a single ball.
