Several massive multimillion dollar experiments should soon reveal more about the nature of these ghostly particles ...

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

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 ...

Restricting a strange class of particles known as anyons to one dimension could force them into adopting one of two new forms, models suggest, hinting at new fundamental interactions in particle ...

The NA62 Collaboration has dramatically reduced the uncertainty in its measurement of an extremely rare particle decay, in ...

Physicists love the Higgs boson, but they hate the God particle. The elusive Higgs particle, which scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator announced Tuesday (Dec. 13) that ...

Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have confirmed the existence of a massless particle, long theorized by physicist David Pines’ theory. This particle, known as the “demon,” ...

Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland said Wednesday that they had discovered a new subatomic particle that looks like the Higgs boson, a potential key to an understanding of why ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. Elementary ...

From the early scattering experiments of Rutherford to the colliding beam experiments that produced the top quark with a mass almost as large as Rutherford's gold nucleus, particle beams have been the ...

You can’t see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us. They come from cosmic rays — high-energy particles that can originate from exploding ...
