Building experimental evidence suggests that the electron, muon and tau may feel different forces. When the tau lepton was discovered in the 1970s, it didn’t resolve any outstanding mysteries—it ...

Researchers from the CMS collaboration have analysed data from proton-proton collisions in an attempt to find cracks in the Standard Model of particle physics The CMS detector at CERN has continues to ...

Scientists reviewed three experiments that hint at a phenomenon beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, outlines a new report. To anyone but a physicist, it sounds like something out of "Star ...

Subatomic particles have been found that appear to defy the Standard Model of particle physics. The team working at Cern's Large Hadron Collider have found evidence of leptons decaying at different ...

In order to make sense of the physical world, scientists have worked hard to discover theories and principles that govern the physics of matter. This is what’s called the Standard Model of Physics, ...

Unlike their stable lepton cousin, the electron, tau leptons and muons are highly unstable and quickly decay within a fraction of a second. According to a Standard Model concept called "lepton ...

The results of three different experiments have turned out to be quite alike, an indication that the Standard Model of particle physics might not exactly be what it is. The Standard Model of particle ...

An international research team has presented a global analysis of a set of observables related to one type of rare B decays measured in different experiments: mainly LHCb, Belle and also preliminary ...

Fleeting glance: decay of a beauty quark involving an electron and positron as observed by LHCb. (Courtesy: CERN) A hint of the possible existence of a hypothetical particle called a leptoquark has ...
