On March 24, at the annual Rencontres de Moriond conference taking place in La Thuile, Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN ...

Triggering systems play a crucial role in filtering the vast amounts of data generated by modern collider experiments. A good ...

Perplexingly, the amount of CP violation predicted by the Standard Model is many orders of magnitude too small to account for ...

Analysing the aftermath of particle collisions has revealed two new instances of “CP violation”, a process that explains why ...

The 12th edition of the International Conference on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes attracted over 300 physicists to Nagasaki ...

The four detectors are called ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb. The first LHC detector is called ALICE and it stands over 50 feet tall and weighs more than the Eiffel Tower. ALICE uses the world's ...

Imagine having the opportunity to turn a wrench on the Space Shuttle or the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) — not only do you get to spend some quality time with some of the most advanced machines ...

Every second, the LHC collides billions of protons and other atomic nuclei at almost the speed of light. These collisions allow scientists to produce and study the fundamental building blocks of ...

Proton–proton collisions in the LHC are more challenging for this kind of studies, even though the ATLAS, CMS and LHCb experiments have already provided a plethora of new ultra-precise measurements.

The LHC represents the Energy Frontier of particle physics by providing ... Rev. D 97, 032007 (2018) [arXiv:1709.04896 [hep-ex]]. CMS and LHCb Collaborations, "Observation of the rare B0s -> mu+mu- ...
