The Higgs boson’s decay into muons happens in only about one in every 5000 Higgs decays. So, the team had to search for a ...

The ATLAS collaboration finds evidence of Higgs-boson decays to muons and improves sensitivity to Higgs-boson decays to a Z ...

Researchers are using machine learning, symbolic regression, and high-performance computing to explore and classify string ...

MARY K. GAILLARD, a pioneering theoretical physicist whose mathematical predictions helped shape the Standard Model of ...

Precise measurements of the Higgs self-coupling and its effects on the Higgs potential will play a key role in testing the ...

Experts believe the universe may have a built-in 'self-destruct button' called false vacuum decay which could destroy the ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

What if the Higgs boson did more than just give mass to the heaviest particles? A new CERN study explores its connection with ordinary matter quarks. A breakthrough made possible by AI. The CMS ...

Peter Higgs, the shy, somewhat reclusive physicist who won a Nobel Prize for his theoretical work on how the Higgs boson gives elementary particles their mass, has died at the age of 94. According ...

Particle physicists have detected a novel decay of the Higgs boson for the first time, revealing a slight discrepancy in the predictions of the Standard Model and perhaps pointing to new physics ...
