As the heaviest known particle, the top quark plays a key role in studies of fundamental interactions. Due to its short lifetime, the top quark decays before it can turn into a hadron. Thus, its ...
As members of the LHCb collaboration, scientists at EPFL have analyzed data collected at CERN's Large Hadron Collider that offer a first-time observation of the polarization of the photon emitted in ...
On Tuesday, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) switched on its data collectors, beginning a new run after several years of downtime for maintenance and upgrades. But even as particle physicists ...
