Precise measurements of already discovered particles are shaking up physics, according to a scientist working at the Large Hadron Collider.

Even though the Standard Model is now an orphan theory, having outlasted its primary architects, its reign as the most successful theory in the history of science continues, and so shall the ...

After refinement in the theory and high-precision experiments, scientists have finally announced that the standard model of particle physics continues to be correct.

In the past decade, measurements of the properties of the Higgs boson have confirmed the predictions of the standard model of particle physics (our best theory for particles).

Recently, a series of precise measurements of already known, bog-standard particles and processes have threatened to shake up physics.

Because this interaction is sensitive to Standard Model deviations, it’s identified as one of the prime targets for finding new physics.

Particle physicists have detected a novel decay of the Higgs boson for the first time, revealing a slight discrepancy in the predictions of the Standard Model and perhaps pointing to new physics ...

While the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces are described by the Standard Model of particle physics, gravity remains an outlier—resisting efforts to be fully explained by quantum theory.

String theory is perhaps the most high-profile candidate for what physicists call a theory of everything – a single ...

Zombie models Take supersymmetry, or SUSY, a theory that many physicists once thought was the most promising for extending the current paradigm, the standard model of particle physics.

Particle physics has always proceeded in two ways, of which new particles is one. The other is by making very precise measurements that test the predictions of theories and look for deviations ...
