Carlo Rubbia’s name is closely related to the discovery of the W and Z particles at CERN. In 1984, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics, together with Simon van der Meer, for the work he had done as head of the UA1 collaboration

CERN Science Gateway will host its first scientific event to celebrate 50 years since Gargamelle discovered neutral currents and 40 years since UA1 and UA2 discovered the W and Z bosons

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have joined forces to establish the first evidence of the rare decay of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a photon

Joint-polarisation measurements of the W and Z bosons provide new opportunities to look for physics beyond the Standard Model

The direct discovery of the W and Z bosons at the SppS in 1983 provided solid experimental support for the existence of the Higgs boson

Thirty years ago this week, the four experiments at CERN’s LEP collider published the first of their famous results: the Z0 line shape, which told us that there are three, and only three, families of fundamental particles in nature

ATLAS measurements show proton has more strange quarks than previously thought

There were presentations from ALICE, CMS, ATLAS and LHCb at the international conference on ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions this week

On 19 July 1973, physicists working with the Gargamelle bubble chamber at CERN presented the first direct evidence of the weak neutral current

Thirty years ago this week physicists at CERN announced that they had directly observed the Z boson
