The discovery of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos initially announced by IceCube in 2013 provided an added boost to the planning for new, larger facilities that could study the signal in detail and...
Read article 'CMS heads towards solving a decades-long quarkonium puzzle'
Quarkonia – charm or beauty quark/antiquark bound states – are prototypes of elementary systems governed by the strong force.
Read article 'ATLAS gives new limits in the search for dark matter'
There is evidence for dark matter from many astronomical observations, yet so far, dark matter has not been seen in particle-physics experiments, and there is no evidence for non-gravitational interac...
