LHC photon readings hint at Higgs boson’s big brother, but it’s too early to tell
GeekWire, Jan. 6, 2016: The Higgs boson is the biggest find of the century in particle physics, but for the past few weeks, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider have been considering whether there’s a mystery that’s even bigger. Or at least more massive. Fermilab’s Don Lincoln is quoted in this article.
Physicists in Europe find tantalizing hints of a mysterious new particle
The New York Times, Dec. 15, 2015: Fermilab Deputy Director Joe Lykken is quoted in this article on ATLAS and CMS results that point to traces of what could be a new fundamental particle.
CERN and U.S. increase cooperation
The United States and the European physics laboratory have formally agreed to partner on continued LHC research, upcoming neutrino research and a future collider.
Save the particles
To learn more about the particles they collide, physicists turn their attention to a less destructive type of collision in the LHC.
U.S. joins the world in a new era of research at the Large Hadron Collider
Today scientists at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, the European research facility, started recording data from the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved on Earth.
U.S. scientists celebrate the restart of the Large Hadron Collider
With the Large Hadron Collider back in action, the more than 1,700 U.S. scientists who work on LHC experiments are prepared to join thousands of their international colleagues to study the highest-energy particle collisions ever achieved in the laboratory.
International team of LHC and Tevatron scientists announces first joint result
Scientists working on the world’s leading particle collider experiments have joined forces, combined their data and produced the first joint result from Fermilab’s Tevatron and CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), past and current holders of the record for most powerful particle collider on Earth.
New evidence strengthens case that scientists have discovered a Higgs boson
The new particle discovered at experiments at the Large Hadron Collider last summer is looking more like a Higgs boson than ever before, according to results announced today.
Search for Higgs boson at Large Hadron Collider reveals new particle
Physicists on experiments at the Large Hadron Collider announced today that they have observed a new particle. Whether the particle has the properties of the predicted Higgs boson remains to be seen.
