Some 450 researchers from around the world headed to historic Bologna to attend the sixth Large Hadron Collider Physics conference.
Read article 'Measuring Higgs-boson interactions with third-generation fermions'
New results released by the ATLAS collaboration firmly establish and measure these so-called Yukawa couplings to third-generation fermions.

The annual conference is an opportunity to review the progress taking place over the breadth of particle physics.
Read article 'ATLAS focuses on Higgs-boson decays to vector bosons'
The Higgs-boson decay to two W bosons (H → WW) is the second most common decay mode after its decay to two b quarks.

Theoretical calculations of this process predict a branching fraction of 6.7–7.7 × 10–7.
Read article 'ATLAS illuminates the Higgs boson at 13 TeV'
The Higgs-to-two-photons decay played a crucial role in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 owing to the excellent mass resolution and well-modelled backgrounds in this channel.
Read article 'We need to talk about the Higgs'
Tim Gershon of LHCb argues that apparently harmless academic discussions risk evolving into a negative outlook for the field.
