But, although the Standard Model predicts what happens to the Higgs boson when it dies, until now, researchers hadn't observed the particle decay into b quarks, Beacham said.

The model predicts how fuel droplets and gas particles behave in detonation waves. These waves occur in rocket engines, ...

But new data from experiments at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, seem to suggest that there’s another blank space in the Standard Model for physicists to fill in.

Scientists had thought a theoretical type of neutrino particle might help explain what makes up about a quarter of ... Search for 'ghost particle' that could hold secret to dark matter draws a blank.

Discovery of an elementary particle not predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics has been reported and confirmed. In the mid-1930s, ...

The strange and subtle behaviour of B mesons could crack open the standard model. The world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), works incredibly well, but the ...

But recent results hinting at unexplained new physics beyond the standard model are of this second type. Detailed studies from the LHCb experiment found that a particle known as a beauty quark ...

Fundamentals of particle physics The entities described by the Standard Model include 12 particles known as fermions, and 5 called bosons. Fermions are particles that you can think of as forms of ...

The standard model of particle physics passed one of its strictest tests yet. Electrons’ magnetism confirms particle physics’ most precise prediction.
