Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

Scientists have detected record-breaking PeV gamma-ray emissions from PSR J1849−0001, dubbed the 'Aquila Booster', challenging existing models of pulsar wind nebulae. On the same day, CERN began ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

Following a two-year shutdown for maintenance and upgrades, Ned Stafford looks at how the LHC has been improved to allow researchers to hunt for new particles Power boost The upgrade and maintenance ...
