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.

Boosting sensitivity to new physics

The LHC is a tremendously powerful tool built to explore physics at the tera-electron-volt scale. This year it is being operated with a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, which is a little over half of ...

Tevatron experiments observe evidence for Higgs-like particle

The CDF and DØ collaborations at Fermilab have found evidence for the production of a Higgs-like particle decaying into a pair of bottom and antibottom quarks, independent of the recently announced H...

A day to remember

A summary of this issue of the CERN Courier featuring the discovery of the Higgs boson announced in July this year.

Discovery of a new boson – the ATLAS perspective

ATLAS reports on their side of the story regarding the discovery of the Higgs boson.

4 July 2012: a day to remember

Looking back to the day when the Standard Model was completed.

Inside story: the search in CMS for the Higgs boson

The search for the Standard Model Higgs boson, the missing keystone of the current framework for describing elementary particles and forces, has been going on for some 40 years.
