A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes ...

Scientists from the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU) and Nanyang Technological University in Singapore recently ...

Like mass and electric charge, magnetic moment is one of the fundamental magnitudes of physics. There is a difference between the theoretical value of the magnetic moment of a muon, a particle that ...

The muon collider was once dismissed as impossible, but is now gaining steam as the successor to the Large Hadron Collider.

Using off-the-shelf industrial parts, a team of researchers from the public and private sectors has created a prototype of a small particle accelerator that could have a big impact bringing the ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...

Snappily named Xi-cc-plus, Cern physicists spotted the particle in shower of debris that lit up Large Hadron Collider ...

Experimenting in the world of particle physics probably brings to mind large, expensive pieces of equipment like particle accelerators, or at least exotic elements or isotopes that most of us can’t ...

Two independent lines of evidence from the world’s most powerful particle experiments are converging on the same uncomfortable conclusion: something is producing signals that the Standard Model of ...
