The CDF experiment at Fermilab measured the mass of the W boson and came up with an answer that no one expected.
Symmetry features
Neglected theories will wilt and wither but can bloom again with enough attention.
Scientists worried Higgs pairs would be too rare for LHC experiments to find. But by using machine learning, they now are getting tantalizingly close.
For the Muon g-2 experiment, researchers create billions of muons to study their surprising properties.
The career of Elaine McCluskey, who most recently served as project manager constructing the future facility for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, has had a lasting impact.
The Standard Model is one of the most well-tested theories in particle physics. But scientists are searching for new physics beyond it.
In particle physics, “annihilation” is a transformation.
National Medal of Science Recipient Sylvester James “Jim” Gates, Jr. has published multiple papers on theoretical physics with undergraduate and high school students.
Engineers, physicists, computer scientists and more are needed for the second quantum revolution.
Black scientists have played important roles in the history of quantum physics. In this growing area of specialization, there’s an opportunity to continue that legacy.
