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 ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Today the NA62 ...

So, the “single particle” of plutonium is more like a mini-dust bunny infected with “millions or billions of atoms” ( Michael Ketterer, Aug. 8, Open Forum). He describes a micron-sized particle which ...

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 Charleston, ...

Six years after discovering the Higgs boson, physicists have observed how the particle decays—a monumental contribution to scientists’ understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics and the ...

There was a bump in the middle of the night. On June 14, 2012, Johns Hopkins physics and astronomy professor Andrei Gritsan analyzed data in a small meeting room at the CERN in Switzerland. He worked ...

There was a huge amount of excitement when the Higgs boson was first spotted back in 2012—a discovery that bagged the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2013. The particle completed the so-called standard ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to reveal subtle details about the shapes of atomic nuclei. The method is ...

Aug. 28 (UPI) --Particle physicists have finally witnessed the decay of a Higgs boson particle into two bottom quarks. Models predict Higgs boson particles decay into two bottom quarks 60 percent of ...
