Pushing the limits on supersymmetry
Despite the theory’s many appealing features, searches for SUSY at the LHC and elsewhere have so far yielded only exclusion limits.

Boosting searches for fourth-generation quarks
If the new "T" quarks exist, they are expected to decay to a quark and a W, Z or Higgs boson.

ALICE sheds new light on high-pT suppression
These results demonstrate that with the correct treatment of biases from the parton–parton interactions the observed suppression in Pb–Pb collisions is consistent with results from p–Pb collisio...

New pentaquarks resolved by LHCb
The LHCb data also confirm that the structure previously reported by the collaboration in 2015 has now been resolved into two narrow, overlapping peaks.
