Andrzej Buras explains how two rare kaon decays and four rare B-meson decays will soon probe for new physics beyond the reach of direct searches at colliders.

Simone Ragoni’s book is a delightful gift for anyone whom you want to inspire to become a particle physicist of tomorrow, writes Chetna Krishna. Inspired by CERN’s international teacher programme and ...

The Strings 2024 conference looked at the latest developments in the interconnected fields of quantum gravity and quantum field theory, all under the overarching framework of string theory. The ...

From its pristine vantage point on the International Space Station, the Calorimetric Electron Telescope, CALET, has uncovered anomalies in the spectra of protons and electrons below the cosmic-ray kne ...

How can Europe’s large-scale research facilities better engage with industry and, in so doing, broaden their user base while amplifying downstream socioeconomic impacts? That’s the central question ...

The 41st symposium, Lattice 2024, welcomed 500 participants to the University of Liverpool from 28 July to 3 August.

Evolving community In a break from the past, Strings 2024 emphasised younger speakers and community organisation. Credit: CERN-PHOTO-202406-114-2 Since its inception in the mid-1980s, the Strings ...

Dark photons, are hypothetical low-mass spin-1 particles that couple to dark matter but have vanishing couplings with normal matter. Such a boson, which may be associated with a U(1) gauge symmetry in ...

Collaboration is the engine-room of scientific progress for Europe’s large-scale research facilities. That truism also applies in equal measure to the enabling technologies that underpin day-to-day ...

Supersymmetry (SUSY) provides elegant solutions to many of the problems of the Standard Model (SM) by introducing new boson/fermion partners for each SM fermion/boson, and by extending the Higgs secto ...

High-energy X-rays reveal possible missing neutron star formed by the collapse of the famous supernova's progenitor star.
