Fundamental physics

Welcome to the Symmetry redesign!

The American Physical Society has recognized both researchers for their leading role in SLAC’s BABAR experiment, which confirmed theorists’ description of how nature treats matter and antimatter differently.

It’s in the air we breathe, but it’s not so easy to get ahold of 10 metric tons of xenon in its liquid form for the LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter experiment.

Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald received the call from Sweden for their work on the Super-Kamiokande and SNO experiments.

A new breed of experiments seeks sources of cosmic rays and other astrophysics phenomena.

For physicists, seeing is not always believing.

Amateurs and professionals share the credit in the newest publications from the Space Warps project.

SLAC is ramping up its efforts to understand neutrinos – elusive fundamental particles whose properties may help researchers solve a number of cosmic mysteries.

Is it possible that these fundamental building blocks of atoms have a finite lifetime?

The DOE has approved the project’s scientific scope, schedule and funding. SLAC researchers are among the 200 physicists and astronomers who make up the international DESI Collaboration.

Dark matter experiments are becoming so sensitive, even the ghostliest of particles will soon get in the way.

The Higgs doesn’t quite fit in with the other particles of the Standard Model of particle physics.
