Read article 'LHCb finds new hints of Standard Model discrepancy'
At a seminar at CERN on 18 April, the LHCb collaboration presented new results in flavour physics that show an interesting departure from Standard Model (SM) predictions. The new measurement concerns ...
Read article 'Proton–proton collisions become stranger'
Recreating the intense fireball of quarks and gluons that existed immediately after the Big Bang, the quark–gluon plasma (QGP), traditionally requires high-energy collisions between heavy ions such ...
