ALPHA experiment observed the 1S-2S transition in trapped antihydrogen. This is the first time a spectral line has been observed in antihydrogen and the next steps are to measure the transition's lineshape and increase the precision of the measurement.

Searches for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider have so far come up empty, but we just might not be looking in the right place. Spectacular bursts of particles appearing seemingly out of nowhere could shed light on some of nature’s most profound mysteries. -
A new approach for collider searches of dark energy. A combination of terrestrial and cosmological data can give us a comprehensive picture about one of the biggest mysteries of our Universe. -
A recent paper suggests that streaming dark matter (DM) axions may be the better source for discovering the candidate particles of one of the few fundamental open questions in physics

Apart from high-precision measurement of rare processes that could reveal new physics, the NA62 collaboration is also looking into the possibility of the existence of exotic particles. -
MoEDAL has finished an initial campaign of calibration and is now poised start to produce greatly enhanced results, with unparalleled sensitivity, using the full detector -
The LHCb collaboration recently published in Nature Physics the first evidence for the violation of the CP symmetry in baryon decays.
Special Feature
-
Sterile neutrinos could answer many open questions of the Standard Model. Following searches at the LHC, future projects like SHiP and FCC could be game-changers exploring unchartered territories.
