Pioneering work Illustration of how a proton collision (left) at the Large Hadron Collider creates a beauty baryon (centre) ...
The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is designed to make highly precise measurements of differences in the behaviour of matter and antimatter. The experiment is operated by an ...
Scientists discover CP violation in baryon decays, shedding light on why the universe is mostly made of matter.
Scientists observe CP violation in baryons, a key clue in understanding why matter dominates the universe over antimatter.
How quickly this damage, or tooth decay, develops depends mostly on how much of these starchy, sugary foods you consume and how well you clean your teeth, he said. Can you reverse tooth decay?
Milestone: observing a rare kaon decay Since 2023, EPFL has extended its physics research expertise to research with kaons, becoming the first Swiss institution part of CERN's NA62 experiment. In ...
The kaon, a subatomic particle, decays into a pion, accompanied by a neutrino-antineutrino pair. This phenomenon is so rare that the Standard Model predicts less than one event per 10 billion kaons.
A London show examines the concept of beauty and its inevitable decay across pan-historical, pan-geographical, and pan-religious examples.
From years of running what is known as the NA62 experiment, particle physicist Cristina Lazzeroni of the University of Birmingham in the UK and her colleagues have now established, experimentally ...
This is where things begin to get strange. Roughly one out of 10 billion times, a positively-charged kaon decays into a positively-charged pion and a neutrino-antineutrino pair.
Scientists at CERN just made one of the rarest observations in particle physics to-date, measuring an ultra-rare form of kaon decay.
