In a landmark result, the CMS collaboration reports the first observation of tau lepton pair production via photon-photon fusion in proton collisions, opening new avenues for studying these elusive ...

From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...

Nearly a decade after the Higgs boson's discovery was announced to the world, physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are still breaking down the fundamental buildings ...

Breaking the rules is exciting, especially if they have held for a long time. This is true not just in life but also in particle physics. Here the rule I'm thinking of is called “lepton flavor ...

The giant Large Hadron Collider at CERN’s lab in Europe may be closed until 2015 but experiments will still be run there in the second half of this year on much smaller synchrotrons that examined the ...
