An important day for science

CERN’s director-general, Rolf Heuer, looks beyond the results announced on 4 July to a wider significance.

Seeing bosons in heavy-ion collisions

Studies of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC are challenging and refining ideas on how to probe QCD – the theory of the strong interaction – at high temperature and density.

**CMS discovers the Ξ_b^*0**

The new state is observed with a significance exceeding 5σ and a mass of 5945.0 ± 2.8 MeV.

ATLAS experiment’s winter round-up

The ATLAS experiment sent the results of more than 40 new analyses to "La Thuille", "Moriond" and other winter conferences.

ATLAS and CMS search for new gauge bosons

The ATLAS and CMS collaborations are carrying out a large-scale hunt for hypothetical heavy partners of the Standard Model gauge bosons, the W and the Z.

MoNA makes first confirmed sighting of dineutron decay

Researchers in the Modular Neutron Array (MoNA) collaboration have found evidence for a new nuclear-decay mode at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University.

Much food for thought at Moriond

The first week of the 47th Rencontres de Moriond, devoted to weak interactions and unified theories, came to a close on 10 March, leaving participants not only impressed but also puzzled by the new r...

¹¹⁰Pd: a new possibility for ββ0ν decay

The search for the neutrinoless double-beta decay (ββ0ν decay) aims to solve a long-standing question concerning the nature of neutrinos.

Getting excited about the Higgs?

The presentations revealed that if the Higgs boson exists in the manner predicted by the Standard Model, then its mass is most likely between 115.5 and 127 GeV.
