Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...

There are many outstanding questions about the universe: What is the nature of dark matter? Why is the universe expanding? How do neutrinos acquire their mass? Because experiments to answer these ...

WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine presents an ambitious and comprehensive long-term vision for the field of particle physics to further our ...

Scientists have used computational algebraic geometry to study predictions for particle physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which first detected the Higgs particle ...

Particle therapy experts gathered in London to discuss the transformative potential of laser-driven proton and ion beams ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) whose participants include a UT physicist delivered recommendations to decision makers. ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

In the culmination of a US community planning process that began in late 2020, the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel has approved the recommendations of the P5 Report. The US particle physics ...

From the early scattering experiments of Rutherford to the colliding beam experiments that produced the top quark with a mass almost as large as Rutherford's gold nucleus, particle beams have been the ...

In 10 years the U.S. will turn on a brand-new particle accelerator that stands to unlock new secrets about the fundamental structure of matter. This machine, called the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), ...

Physicists have outlined the next 10 years of global research into the behavior of neutrinos, particles so tiny that they pass through virtually everything by the trillions every second at nearly the ...

Exotic spin-dependent interactions represent a promising avenue for probing physics beyond the Standard Model. These interactions, hypothesised to be mediated by new light bosons, couple to the ...
