Breakthrough MicroBooNE measurement elucidates neutrino interactions April 12, 2022 argonflavorMicroBooNEneutrinoPress release For the first time, physicists extracted the detailed “energy-dependent neutrino-argon interaction cross section,” a key value for studying how neutrinos change their flavor.
CDF collaboration at Fermilab announces most precise ever measurement of W boson mass to be in tension with the Standard Model April 7, 2022 beyond the Standard ModelCDFresultStandard ModelTevatronW bosonPress release Scientists of the Collider Detector at Fermilab collaboration have achieved the most precise measurement to date of the mass of the W boson, one of nature’s force-carrying particles. The measured value shows tension with the value expected based on the Standard Model of particle physics.

Straws, crystals and the quest for new subatomic physics March 24, 2022 detectorexperimentleptonMu2emuonsneutrinoFermilab feature The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will look for a never-before-seen subatomic phenomenon that, if observed, would transform our understanding of elementary particles: the direct conversion of a muon into an electron. An international collaboration of over 200 scientists is building the Mu2e precision particle detector that will hunt for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
