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 ...

While the Standard Model successfully explains the behavior of fundamental particles through the exchange of gluons, it leaves unanswered the question of why quarks possess such large effective masses ...

Dark Matter remains one of the biggest mysteries in fundamental physics. Many theoretical proposals (axions, WIMPs) and 40 years of extensive experimental search failed to provide any explanation of ...

The foundation of the Standard Model was laid in the 1940s with the development of quantum electrodynamics (QED), a theory that described electromagnetic interactions with remarkable precision.

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

The futurist Arthur C. Clarke famously said that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Well, a team of physicists just showed that a common particle production method ...

Patrick Koppenburg and Marco Pappagallo survey the 23 exotic hadrons discovered at the LHC so far. Twenty-three exotic states Five pentaquarks and 18 tetraquarks have been discovered so far at the LHC ...

A report from the ATLAS experiment. Fig. 1. Measured ttH cross-sections for the H → bb decay channel, both inclusive and differential in Higgs transverse momentum, and normalised by the prediction.

Scientists have for the first time observed quantum entanglement — a state in which particles intermingle, losing their individuality so they can no longer be described separately — between quarks.

ABSTRACT: This paper shows a didactic model (PGM), and not only, but representative of the Hadrons described in the Standard Model (SM). In this model, particles are represented by structures ...

Discovered in 1995, the top quark is the most massive elementary particle that exists, outweighing even the Higgs boson. Because of its atypical size as compared to other quarks, scientists were ...

Physicists have delved deeper into the enigmatic world of quantum entanglement and top quarks, bringing a new level of understanding to a phenomenon that even Albert Einstein found perplexing. This ...
