Particle 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.

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

The CMS and ATLAS experiments combined forces to more precisely measure properties of the Higgs boson.

Theorists from the Institute for Advanced Study have proposed a way forward in the quest to test string theory.

Exploding stars have an immense capacity to destroy—and create.
