Scientists may have observed the Higgs boson doing a new trick: creating pairs of muons. When the Higgs boson was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, it was the final piece of ...

Scientists have now observed B-sub-s meson decay as predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The discovery at the Large Hadron Collider will impact scientists' search for dark matter in ...

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 ...

15:12, Thu, Aug 6, 2020 Updated: 15:12, Thu, Aug 6, 2020 The Higgs boson is believed by particle physicists to play a fundamental role in the forces that shape the Universe. The particle, which is ...

Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have made considerable progress in exploring its properties. Does this mean the subject is closed? Far from it! In new results presented at ...

The first "tantalising evidence" of this new force was published in March this year, using data collected by the world's biggest particle collider. Although the news was met with a great deal of ...

Physicists have for the first time pinned down one of the rarest particle transformations glimpsed – the decay of a B s meson into a muon and its antiparticle. The sighting might not spark celebration ...
