To determine the mass of a single proton more accurately, the group of physicists from the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics in Heidelberg and RIKEN in Japan performed an important high-precision measurement in a greatly advanced Penning…

The RD53 collaboration presented the RD53A large scale pixel chip demonstrator in 65nm CMOS technology as a vital milestone to make viable pixel detectors for the ATLAS and CMS phase 2 upgrades. The RD53 collaboration has during the last 4…

In a paper published last month in Nature Physics, the ALICE collaboration reports that proton collisions sometimes present similar patterns to those observed in the collisions of heavy nuclei. This behaviour was spotted through observation of…

Particle colliders generate an extremely large amount of high-energy interactions in order to produce and detect very rare events that can be used to improve our understanding of the underlying physical laws. In doing so, a significant background is…

The field of dark matter (DM) particle physics is at an interesting stage, as key discoveries are anticipated. However, despite the intensive direct, indirect and LHC searches, the experiments have not yet yielded unambiguous Dark Matter (DM)…

Last month, the LHCb collaboration presented results on the measurement of RK*0, which is the ratio of the probabilities that a B0 meson decays to an excited kaon and muons (K*0μ+μ-) or electrons (K*0e+e-). By isolating and…
