CMS collaboration explores how AI can be used to search for partner particles to the Higgs boson
This search uses computer vision techniques to look for collimated bursts of light, a potential signature of Higgs partner particles
Hearing the sound of quark–gluon plasma
The CMS collaboration has measured the speed of sound in the quark–gluon plasma more precisely than ever before, offering new insights into this extremely hot state of matter
Charm is better than beauty at going with the flow
New ALICE measurements shed light on the dynamics of charm and beauty particles in quark–gluon plasma
CLOUD challenges current understanding of aerosol particle formation in polar and marine regions
The results imply that climate models are underestimating the formation rates of aerosol particles
Making the leap from the impossible to the possible
During the LHC era and on the cusp of the High-Luminosity LHC era, theoretical and experimental physicists are already using precision calculations to find the smallest deviations that might reveal new physics
Exotic atomic nucleus sheds light on the world of quarks
CERN and the Accelerator Laboratory in Jyväskylä, Finland, have teamed up to weigh in on the understanding of the effects of the weak force on quarks
Thick-skinned: Scientists determine the thickness of neutron “skin” in lead-208 nuclei
This is the first measurement of the neutron skin of lead-208 using exchanges predominantly involving gluons and it can provide insight into the structure of nuclei and neutron stars
ISOLDE sees shape shifting in gold nuclei
The finding comes a little more than 50 years after the phenomenon was first discovered at the facility in mercury nuclei
CMS presents its latest search for new exotic particles
This search for exotic long-lived particles looks at the possibility of “dark photon” production, which would occur when a Higgs boson decays into muons displaced in the detector
ATLAS and CMS unite to weigh in on the top quark
The new result combines 15 previous measurements to give the most precise determination of the top-quark mass to date
