For the past half century or so, a theory known by the understated name of the Standard Model has dominated the field of particle physics. This theory provides us with a detailed description of the 17 ...
From the outside, the high-speed collisions of atomic nuclei inside particle accelerators like CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may seem like they have very little in common with more mundane ...
Despite its tremendous success in predicting the existence of new particles and forces, the standard model of particle physics, designed over 50 years ago to explain the smallest building blocks of ...
A philosopher has put forward an argument for rethinking how particles are defined within the standard model of particle ...
Physicists at the University of California, Irvine, have developed an artificial intelligence system that can autonomously ...

An unexpected behavior in a particle decay seems to disagree with the predictions of the Standard Model, despite its high reliability. It could betray the existence of still unknown forces or ...
THE STANDARD MODEL of particle physics—completed in 1973—is the jewel in the crown of modern physics. It predicts the properties of elementary particles and forces with mind-boggling accuracy. Take ...
