The top quark’s extreme mass makes it decay almost immediately after it is produced. “The top and antitop quarks just have ...

An international collaboration has developed a new diagnostic technique for measuring ultra-short particle beams at STFC's ...

A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the ...

Ohio University’s particle accelerator allows physics students to study and experiment with no limits to their learning.

As a central hub for scientific exploration, CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is dedicated to probing the enigmatic particles that could potentially elucidate the mystery of dark ...

Whether as the protons and neutrons that help form chemical elements, the photons that we perceive as light or even the flows ...

Kaons have several known common ways of decaying, but the one in this paper is so rare that scientists weren’t sure it ...

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations from ...

This week, this enormous scientific facility, ten years in the making, will begin its hunt for the most elusive particles in ...

Recently, I watched a fellow particle physicist talk about a calculation he had pushed to a new height of precision. His tool? A 1980s-era computer program called FORM. Particle physicists use some of ...

Researchers in Germany have demonstrated the first cancer treatment using a radioactive carbon ion beam ( 11 C), on a mouse with a bone tumour close to the spine. Performing particle therapy with ...
