Physicists Discover Elusive New Particle Through Benchtop Experiment

Leave a Comment / Science / By

An interdisciplinary team led by Boston College physicists has discovered a new particle – or previously undetectable quantum excitation – known as the Higgs axial mode, a magnetic relative of the mass-defining Higgs Boson particle, reports the team in the journal Nature. Credit: Nature Materials that contain the axial Higgs mode could serve as quantum …

Researchers have discovered a new particle that is a magnetic relative of the Higgs boson. While the discovery of the Higgs boson required the enormous particle-accelerating power of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this never-before-seen particle – dubbed the axial Higgs boson – was discovered using an experiment that could stand on a small kitchen …

The Standard Model of Particle Physics May Be Broken – Large Hadron Collider Physicist Explains

Leave a Comment / Science / By

A recent series of precise measurements of already known standard particles and processes threatens to turn physics upside down. As a physicist working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in[{” attribute=””>CERN, one of the most frequent questions I am asked is “When are you going to find something?” Resisting the temptation to sarcastically reply “Aside …
