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

Fermilab's FAST/IOTA accelerator test facility has successfully accelerated and stored its first proton beams.

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

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 ...

For the first time, researchers have accelerated muons — the heavier, unstable cousins of electrons — into a tightly controlled beam, bringing the vision of a muon collider a step closer to reality. A ...

Particle therapy experts gathered in London to discuss the transformative potential of laser-driven proton and ion beams ...

Red lines show the disintegration of a B-sub-s into two muons in the CMS camera at the Large Hadron Collider. Yello, green and blue are used to denote particles other than muons. Purdue University ...

sPHENIX is a next-generation particle detector that probes the mysterious, soupy form of the early universe. After a decade of construction, the gigantic JUNO detector has joined the race to uncover ...

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 ...

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,” ...

The puzzling behaviour of a fundamental particle called a muon, which some scientists think could be a sign of new physics, might actually be explained by our current theories. That’s according to a ...

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 ...
