While analyses are progressing to ascertain the consistency of the new boson discovered at the LHC with the Standard Model Higgs boson (H), the LHC collaborations continue to develop tools in their se...
Read article 'LHCb result tightens precision on angle γ'
For the first time in a single experiment, LHCb has achieved a precision of better than 10° in measuring the angle γ that is linked to CP violation in the Standard Model.

The electric charge of lead ions, when accelerated to ultra-relativistic velocities, is the source of an intense flux of high-energy quasi-real photons.
Read article 'ATLAS observes and measures H → WW'
The WW final state was a key component in the discovery of the Higgs boson with a mass of around 125 GeV, and remains essential for the ongoing measurements of the particle’s properties.
Read article 'Neutrinos cast light on coherent pion production'
Experiments at Fermilab are advancing an intriguing story that began three decades ago, with investigations of coherent neutrino interactions that produce pions yet leave the target nucleus unscathed.
Read article 'Nanotube cathode promises intense electron beam'
It looks like a small black button, but in tests at Fermilab’s High-Brightness Electron Source Lab it has produced beam currents greater than those generated with a large laser system.
