The remarkable precision of LEP and other lepton colliders in the past has been instrumental in testing and understanding the Standard Model. In particular it was able to predict, by their effect on quantum corrections (a.k.a. ’loops’), the masses…

Detector and accelerator developers need irradiation facilities to test their components under conditions that are as close as possible to real applications, as well as to predict and prevent failures in materials. The foreseen high-luminosity…

The top quark is the heaviest known elementary particle and completes the quark sector of the standard model (SM). Like other fermions in the standard model (SM), it decays through the electroweak interaction. But unlike b and c quarks, which form…

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a state-of-the-art particle physics experiment operating on the International Space Station (ISS) since May 2011. In the first 6 years of missions, AMS has detected over 100 billion cosmic ray (CR) particles…
