A new measurement by CERN’s ATLAS Collaboration has strengthened evidence that the masses of fundamental particles originate through their interaction with the Higgs field. Building on earlier results ...

At the world’s most powerful colliders, physicists are finally catching sight of particles that almost never leave a trace, a ...

Although its existence had been theorized for decades, the Higgs boson was finally observed to exist in 2012 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Since then, it has continued to be heavily ...

Illustration of a tetraquark composed of two charm quarks and two charm antiquarks. (Image: CERN) To date, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has discovered 80 particles. The most famous is the ...

Quantum Field Theory (QFT) is the fundamental mathematical framework that underlies the modern understanding of particle physics and many-body systems. Rather than viewing the universe as a mere ...

ABSTRACT: In this paper, it is hypothesized that within a free neutron there is a virtual “dormant” force carrier Z0 boson with the same net charge and can get “activated” by the down quark decay and ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

Trillions of times smaller than a grain of sand and smaller than an atomic proton or neutron, quarks are among the smallest particles in the universe. They are essentially building blocks for ...

Dark matter, the substance that makes up about 27% of the universe, could potentially be detected as a red or blue light "fingerprint," new research shows. The research is published in the journal ...

Physicists have long-suspected that the building blocks of protons experienced quantum entanglement. Now, researchers have the first direct evidence — after using a trick to infer subatomic particles' ...
