First measurements of electroweak boson fusion
In proton collisions at the LHC, vector boson fusion (VBF) happens when quarks from each one of the two colliding protons radiate W or Z bosons that subsequently interact or "fuse" as in the Feynman d...

New boson’s mirror image looks like the Higgs
More than 20 years ago, the CMS and ATLAS experiments at the LHC embarked on a long road into the unknown and, rather like Christopher Columbus, the two collaborations reached a new land last summer....

Measurement of photons stimulates quest for QGP temperature
One of the classic signals expected for a quark–gluon plasma (QGP) is the radiation of "thermal photons", with a spectrum reflecting the temperature of the system.

CMS homes in on the heaviest quark
The top quark is the heaviest point-like particle known. It weighs about as much as an atom of tungsten yet is an elementary building block of the Standard Model of particle physics.

Illuminating extra dimensions with photons
Photons are a critical tool at the LHC, and the ATLAS detector has been carefully designed to measure photons precisely.

Searching for new physics in rare kaon-decays
The LHCb experiment was originally conceived of to study particles containing the beauty-flavoured b quark.

The search for ‘big news’ continues
The big news this summer was on the new Higgs-like boson and how the hint of an excess in last year’s 7 TeV data from the LHC became an observation with this year’s 8 TeV data.
