Since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012, physicists have made considerable progress in exploring its properties. Does ...

The advance hints at the possibility of portable muon-making devices that could help peer through solid materials for hidden contraband.

Scientists may have observed the Higgs boson doing a new trick: creating pairs of muons. When the Higgs boson was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, it was the final piece of ...

A recent study offers proof of feasibility for using cosmic radiation detectors to discover underground spaces. The detectors ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sparked worldwide excitement in March as particle physicists reported tantalizing evidence for new physics — potentially a new force of nature. Now, our new result, yet ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

A neutrino sensor array, ARCA, lines the Mediterranean seafloor near Sicily. A physicist took ARCA’s first huge win to a warm audience at the Neutrino 2024 conference. The highly energetic neutrino ...

The Muon g-2 Collaboration has doubled the precision of their 2021 measurement of the muon’s magnetic moment and it disagrees with the predictions based on the standard model of physics. Muons are ...

Here’s how physicists calculate g-2, the value that will determine whether the muon is giving us a sign of new physics. Like racecars on a track, thousands of particles called muons zip around an ...
