Fifty years ago, the discovery of the J/ψ and its excitations sparked the November Revolution in particle physics, giving fresh experimental impetus to the theoretical ideas that would become the Standard Model.
Alexander Lenz argues that the charm quark is an experimental and theoretical enigma that has the potential to shed light on the matter–antimatter asymmetry in the universe.
Patrick Koppenburg and Marco Pappagallo survey the 23 exotic hadrons discovered at the LHC so far.
Marek Karliner and Jonathan Rosner ask what makes tetraquarks and pentaquarks tick, revealing them to be at times exotic compact states, at times hadronic molecules and at times bo...
Two recent results may ease the tension between theory and experiment.
Cosmologist Katie Mack talks to the Courier about how high-energy physics can succeed in #scicomm by throwing open the doors to academia.
As the CERN & Society Foundation turns 10, founding Director-General Rolf-Dieter Heuer argues that physicists have a duty to promote curiosity and evidence-based critical thinking.
