Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. This is an ...

Researchers at CERN have just upgraded their understanding on one of the rarest particle processes ever observed, by using the NA62 experiment to study a kaon decay that occurs only once in about 10 ...

A surprising and rare particle decay has left scientists puzzled as kaons, particles made up of quarks, are decaying in ways that defy current physics models. Could this anomaly indicate the existence ...

The Standard Model of Particle Physics is scientists' best understanding of the forces that describe how subatomic particles interact. The Standard Model encompasses four forces: the strong nuclear ...

An experiment that ran for eight years at the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator has revealed a tantalizing gap in our understanding of the basic building blocks of matter. Though ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. An engineer works on equipment for the LHCb experiment inside the tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider. Physicists know that their ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

BREAK-UPS are often messy, and the splitting of subatomic particles into lighter, daughter particles is no exception. Now the ability to simulate a particularly famous particle decay could help answer ...

Once in a very great while, an ephemeral particle called a kaon arises and then quickly decays away into three other obscure entities. Whether or not this happens in a particular way has very little ...

Scientists at CERN have discovered an ultra-rare particle decay process, opening a new path to find physics beyond our understanding of how the building blocks of matter interact. Today the NA62 ...
