“LHC physicists are on the hunt for many different forms of phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Some theories predict an as-yet undiscovered particle could be found in the form of a new resonance (a narrow peak) similar to the one …
“The NA63 collaboration has made a high-precision study of the phenomenon of radiation reaction, using particle beams and crystals Place a charged particle in an electromagnetic field and the particle will accelerate and give off radiation. Typically, the emitted radiation …
“The CERN Control Centre (CCC) is abuzz once again. The second long shutdown (LS2) has come to an end for CERN’s newest accelerator – Linac 4 – and the accelerator complex’s slow awakening from a two-year repair-and-recuperation hibernation has begun …
News NA62 experiment at CERN reports first evidence for ultra-rare process that could lead to new physics
“Scientists at CERN have reported on their first significant evidence for a process predicted by theory, paving the way for searches for evidence of new physics in particle processes that could explain dark matter and other mysteries of the universe …
“The LHCb collaboration has observed an exotic particle made up of four charm quarks for the first time. The LHCb collaboration has observed a type of four-quark particle never seen before. The discovery, presented at a recent seminar at CERN …
“A 3D-printed “super-cube” scintillator would be the first occurrence of additive manufacturing being used in particle detectors and would allow more precise data collection Plastic scintillators are one of the most used active materials in high-energy physics. Their properties make …
“First isolated in 2004 by physicists at the University of Manchester using pieces of sticky tape and a graphite block, the one-atom-thick carbon allotrope graphene has been touted as a wonder material on account of its exceptional electrical, thermal and …
