Rare Higgs boson decay observed in Large Hadron Collider experiments

June 06, 2023 9:18 am

Scientists at CERN have discovered evidence of the Higgs boson decaying into a Z boson and a photon, providing indirect evidence of particles beyond those predicted by the Standard Model, which could one day even change our understanding of how everything in the universe works.

Large Hadron Collider: Scientists at CERN observe three "exotic" particles for first time

July 07, 2022 7:51 pm

Scientists at CERN say they have observed a new kind of "pentaquark" and the first-ever pair of "tetraquarks", adding three members to the list of new hadrons found at the LHC.
