This particle challenges the standard model of particle physics

    From National Geographic (Spain) April 21, 2023: A little over a year ago, the high-precision measurement of the W boson was announced with an accuracy of 0.01%, twice as great as the best previous measurement. In finding the mass of the W boson to be significantly higher than predicted by theory, it deviates markedly from the Standard Model predictions.

    Nigel Lockyer named new director of the Cornell Laboratory for Accelerator-based Sciences and Education
