Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it’s more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...

These are the event displays of Large Hadron Collider physicists’ dreams. Our current understanding of particle physics, known as the Standard Model, has been tremendously successful. Over the past 40 ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized ...

For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...

A hidden link has been found between two seemingly unrelated particle collision outcomes. It’s the latest example of a mysterious web of mathematical connections between disparate theories of physics.

"Wonderful, beautiful and unique" is how Gordon Kane describes supersymmetry theory. Kane, a theoretical physicist at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, has spent about 30 years working on ...

In 2016, Earth’s South Pole was struck by a ghostly particle from some unknown corner of the universe. This antineutrino — the neutrino’s antimatter twin — collided with an electron at nearly the ...
