LHC scientists detect most favored Higgs decay
…physicist at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory who works on the ATLAS experiment, finding the Higgs boson decaying into bottom quarks has been priority number one for the last several years…
Hundreds of hadrons
Hadrons count among their number the familiar protons and neutrons that make up our atoms, but they are much more than that….
Ultrapure copper for an ultrasensitive dark matter detector
…that it is unstable and spontaneously decays into other particles. The minuscule number of copper atoms converted into cobalt has no impact on everyday uses for copper. But Bauer and…

Scientists move a step closer to understanding the βcold spotβ in the cosmic microwave background
…quarter of the Southern Hemisphere.” Scientists previously counted the number of galaxies visible in the location of the CMB Cold Spot and found an underdensity of galaxies in that region….
An unexpected result from a dark matter experiment may signal new particles
…dark matter. Scientists with the XENON1T experiment reported data June 17 showing an unexpectedly large number of blips within their detector. Fermilab scientist Dan Hooper is quoted in this piece….
Indian scientists come to Fermilab to assist with PIP-II particle accelerator technology
…infrastructure. As part of the agreement, India will supply components worth $140 million to the PIP-II project. This contribution was even highlighted in this White House statement (see number 10)….
