IFLScience traveled to CERN to get an exclusive insight into the crucial theory of particle physics, its limitations, and ...

Despite being a key reason why we're here in the first place, the amount of CP violation predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics is far too small to explain the abundance of matter in ...

Intriguing signs from CERN hint at a never-before-seen form of matter – one that could be the tiniest particle cluster ever detected. Top quarks, typically too short-lived to pair up, may have briefly ...

Researchers at the CMS collaboration at CERN have reported the discovery of the smallest hadron in existence, the toponium.

The ultimate goal of this research is to confirm the validity of Standard Model down to distances on the order of one millionth of the proton radius or to discover new physics beyond the Standard ...

The revision takes scientists one more step toward a discovery that could alter or even upend the Standard Model of particle physics. Our universe is awash with phantom specks of matter.

The paper is published on the arXiv preprint server. In the Standard Model of particle physics, the electromagnetic and the weak interactions are two sides of the same coin, unified as the ...

Measuring the probability, or cross section, of tt-bar production is both an important test of the Standard Model of particle physics and a powerful way to search for the existence of new ...
