After more than a year of upgrades, Fermilab's revamped accelerator complex is ready to send beam to its suite of fixed-target experiments, which now includes the new NOvA neutrino detector in norther...
Read article 'New high-precision constraints on charm CP violation'
There are four neutral mesons that allow particle–antiparticle transitions – mixing – and so make ideal laboratories for studies of matter–antimatter asymmetries (CP violation).
