In the 1960s, physicists Gell-Mann and Zweig independently proposed the existence of the subatomic particles known as quarks. Their model successfully described the particles interacting by the strong force — hadrons — as being made up of two or three quarks. At the same time, theorists also predicted the existence of exotic hadrons with more …
†We have proton collisions in the ATLAS experiment† At 4:47 PM CEST, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) officially kicked off its third operating period (Run 3). The LHC collides with proton beams with a world-record-breaking energy of 13.6 tera electron volts (TeV). The higher beam energy and intensity of Run 3 allows the ATLAS experiment …

July 4, 2022. The ATLAS collaboration at CERN has released its most comprehensive overview of the Higgs boson. the new paper, published in the journal Nature, comes exactly ten years after ATLAS announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. To mark this anniversary, a special all-day symposium on the Higgs boson is currently underway at …
