LHC scientists detect most favored Higgs decay

This event display from CMS shows a proton-proton collision inside the Large Hadron Collider that has characteristics of a Higgs decaying into two bottom quarks. While this is the most common decay of the Higgs boson, its signature is very difficult to separate from similar looking background events. Image courtesy of CMS

Scientists now know the fate of the vast majority of all Higgs bosons produced in the LHC.

Theorists publish highest-precision prediction of muon magnetic anomaly

Theoretical physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently published in Physical Review Letters calculations related to the way muons interact with all other known particles through three of nature’s four fundamental forces, reducing the greatest source of uncertainty in the prediction. The calculation comes out just in time for precision measurements at Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment. Photo: Reidar Hahn

The latest calculation based on how subatomic muons interact with all known particles comes out just in time for precision measurements at new Muon g-2 experiment.

Extracting signals of elusive particles from giant chambers filled with liquefied argon

A Brookhaven team working on the MicroBooNE neutrino experiment use software to develop images that trace neutrinos’ interactions in a bath of minus 303-degree Fahrenheit liquid argon.

Fermilab scientist Tammy Walton receives Brookhaven’s Leona Woods Lectureship Award

A research associate on the Muon g-2 experiment, Tammy Walton has been named the second recipient of the award, which is given by the Physics Department at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

ADMX announces breakthrough in axion dark matter detection technology

New result draws on 30 years of research and development and begins the definitive search for axion particles.

Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment officially starts up

The experiment aims for unprecedented precision in measuring an important property of the muon, one that could open a window into new physics.
