In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have smashed billions of particles ...

It’s often said in science that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Recent measurements of the mass of the elementary particle known as the W boson provide a useful case study as to ...

Particles known as tensor mesons are created when high-energy photons interact. These mesons have now been proposed to have a larger effect on photon behavior than previously thought, and provide a ...

Predicting the numerical value of the magnetic moment of the muon is one of the most challenging calculations in high-energy physics. Some physicists spend the bulk of their careers improving the ...

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the most rigorously tested quantum field theory of the standard model of particle physics 1. It describes the fundamental electromagnetic interactions of particles and ...

The magnetic moment of the muon is an important precision parameter for putting the standard model of particle physics to the test. After years of work, the research group led by Professor Hartmut ...
