A new calculation helps narrow down the mass of the W boson, one of the heaviest fundamental particles in the universe ...

When fundamental particles are heavier or lighter than expected, physicists' understanding of the universe can tip into the ...

In 1930, a young physicist named Carl D. Anderson was tasked by his mentor with measuring the energies of cosmic rays—particles arriving at high speed from outer space. Anderson built an improved ...

Wondering whether whether Dark Matter particles actually are produced inside a jet of standard model particles, led researchers to explore a new detector signature known as semi-visible jets, which ...
