Nearly a decade after the Higgs boson's discovery was announced to the world, physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) are still breaking down the fundamental buildings ...

Building experimental evidence suggests that the electron, muon and tau may feel different forces. When the tau lepton was discovered in the 1970s, it didn’t resolve any outstanding mysteries—it ...

Simulating data in particle physics is expensive and not perfectly accurate. To get around this, researchers are now exploring the use of foundation models—large AI models trained in a general, ...

The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences Electrons with 'colleagues' - other leptons - are one of many products of collisions observed in the LHCb experiment ...

Leptons are elementary fermionic particles constituting a fundamental physical system in the Standard Model, characterized by half-integer spin (spin-½), lack of color charge, and participation in ...
