The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z ...

An unforeseen feature in proton-proton collisions previously observed by the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider ...

It’s believed that the background signals may come from collisions between supermassive black holes lurking at the center of galaxies.

“Charismatic, physically agile and daring, Alvarez was one of the last representatives of an era that could still see physics as a heroic enterprise,” Alec Nevala-Lee writes in “Collisions ...

Instead of hunting for specific signatures of new physics in the data the CMS detector collects from collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, the new tool will search for rare anomalies. “It’s a ...

Early in cosmic history, our universe may have bumped into another — a primordial clash that could have left traces in the Big Bang’s afterglow.

In their simulations, integrating the screened potentials of the background with the relative motion of ions during binary collisions leads to the cutoff, which encloses an area that constitutes ...

Smashing nuclei The STAR collaboration’s approach circumvents these limitations by smashing nuclei together at extremely high energies and analysing the collision products. Since these high-energy ...

They would be even better for powerful collisions needed to advance the understanding of particle physics. The report noted some challenges – including the need to capture and cool the muons ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

Extreme collisions between neutron stars could create exotic particles beyond the standard model, including axions, the hypothetical particle that comprises dark matter.

Dark matter has baffled physicists for nearly a century, quietly shaping our universe's unseen framework. Invisible yet influential, it provides the gravity necessary to hold galaxies together, ...
