The research, supported by the Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare, shows that even an experiment with a clear mission in ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

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. If ...

This decay is extraordinarily uncommon—according to the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, which describes particle interactions, fewer than one in every 10 billion kaons undergo this ...

The LHCb collaboration saw this baryon decay in a heavier cousin of protons and neutrons called the beauty-lambda baryon Λ. This particle is composed of an up quark and a down quark – just like ...

Scientists spotted the rare “golden channel” decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further studies could break or bolster the standard model of particle physics, Emily Conover reported in ...

After decades of searching, LHC researchers announced in 2012 they had found a new particle resembling the Higgs boson—a discovery that netted Englert and Higgs the 2013 Nobel prize in physics.

The LHCb collaboration reported the observation of the hyperon Σ+→pμ+μ- rare decay at the XV International Conference on Beauty, Charm, Hyperons in Hadronic Interactions (BEACH 2024) in ...

The scientists who discovered the Higgs boson, the so-called God Particle, have set their sights on even bigger prey – dark matter. The Atlas and CMS teams at Europe’s Large Hadron Collider ...
