A crucial turning point in particle physics occurred in 2012 when the Higgs Boson was discovered at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Since that time, the ATLAS and CMS teams have been meticulously ...

The Higgs boson self-coupling is a phenomenon where the Higgs interacts with itself, which can manifest in particle collisions at the CERN LHC through the production of Higgs boson pairs. This ...

A report from the ATLAS experiment. Fig. 1. Combined Run 2 and Run 3 results for weighted dimuon (top) and Zγ (above) invariant mass spectra, summed over all event categories. The data are compared to ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Valentina Dutta is on the lookout for evidence of subatomic particles known as the Higgs boson interacting with each other. Dutta, assistant professor of physics, shared ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson at CERN’s LHC confirmed the Standard Model, revealing how particles gain mass. Brian Cox helped popularize its significance, inspiring public interest in particle ...

Overcoming discrimination in a mostly male preserve, she did groundbreaking work that showed experimentalist physicists where and how to look for new particles. By Katrina Miller Physicists working at ...

Physicist Huilin Qu vividly remembers the 2012 announcement of the discovery of the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle that helps explain the origin of mass. The spokespeople of the ATLAS and CMS ...

A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson. Physicist ...

Imagine a particle so elusive, so rare, that it's difficult even to catch a glimpse of it. That's the challenge researchers face when they try to study the Higgs boson, a fundamental particle—also ...
