Physicists know that their elegant theoretical description of forces and particles – the Standard Model – must be incomplete, ...

For years, one tiny mismatch in particle physics carried outsized hopes. The muon, a heavier and short-lived cousin of the ...

Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature. By ...

A major obstacle in calculating the muon’s behavior is the strong force, the most powerful of the four fundamental forces, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak force. It binds quarks ...

Physicists working with the famous Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, say recent experiments could ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we ...

An international team has produced the most precise calculation yet of the muon's magnetic moment, resolving a decades-long discrepancy with experimental results. The new hybrid method, combining ...

If photons possess more quantum states than expected, it would overhaul our understanding of all particle physics – and now physicists have identified a way to test this radical idea in an experiment.

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 ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics (MPQ), Garching, in collaboration with Prof. Dr. Randolf Pohl from the Institute for Physics at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU), ...
