The discovery of the Higgs boson hasn’t led to an explosion of new physics as many predicted. Now, some scientists think that hidden physics may be hiding beyond LHC’s view.

(Courtesy: CERN) Lepton flavour universality is a principle in particle physics that concerns how all leptons (electrons, muons and taons) should interact with the fundamental forces of nature. The ...

The Standard Model of particle physics describes the fundamental particles and forces, along with the mathematical framework that governs their interactions. According to quantum electrodynamics (QED) ...

On this page of his logbook, Perl plotted the curves you’d expect for a three-body decay and two different kinds of two-body decays. When he looked at where his data points fell, he was convinced that ...

Dr. Bruce Schumm, a physicist at the Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics and the author of a popular book on particle physics, also believed the oddity might have to do with the muon's ...

In addition to muons, the lepton group also includes the particle tau and the common electron. In fact, muons in many ways are the heavier and stranger cousin of the electron.

But a massive particle need not have a direction of motion, it can just be sitting there, so the helicity is not defined. Chirality is the same as helicity -- left-handed or right-handed -- for ...

The Higgs boson, discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, plays a central role in the Standard Model of particle physics, endowing elementary particles such as quarks with mass ...
