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

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

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

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics ...

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

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

In physics, there are two great pillars of thought that don't quite fit together. The Standard Model of particle physics describes all known ...

The decays of the Higgs boson into rare decay channels like H→Zγ→ℓℓγ and H→μμ are very challenging due to their small branching ratios and large backgrounds. The first decay, H→Zγ→ℓℓγ, is sensitive to ...

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