In discussion with John Ellis: The Higgs, Patience and Perseverance in Science
In discussion with John Ellis: The Higgs, Patience and Perseverance in Science by Panos Charitos For John Ellis, the history of the Higgs boson is not a neat, short story that begins with a theory paper and ends with a discovery announcement. It is a long intellectual adventure, beginning in superconductivity, moving through the construction

ATLAS scales up AI for jet physics and reveals flavour-tagging scaling laws
ATLAS scales up AI for jet physics and reveals flavour-tagging scaling laws High Energy Physics (HEP) and Machine Learning (ML/AI) are uniquely aligned: The data recorded by particle physics experiments are so rich, heterogeneous and complicated that scientists crucially depend on advanced pattern recognition in order to extract physics results. It’s for this reason that

From top quarks to Higgs bosons: LHCb’s expanding jet programme
From top quarks to Higgs bosons: LHCb’s expanding jet programme Over the past decade, LHCb has steadily evolved from a detector primarily associated with heavy-flavour physics into a broader forward spectrometer able to address an increasingly diverse set of questions in Standard Model and beyond-the-Standard-Model physics. Two recent papers illustrate that evolution particularly well. One

Higgs physics at future colliders
Higgs physics at future colliders In her article, Caterina Vernieri, reviews the potential of proposed future colliders to study the Higgs boson and further explore the electroweak sector beyond the LHC following her presentation on the Higgs 2020 conference. Caterina, is a member of the ATLAS collaboration (previously CMS 2012-2018) and co-convener of the Higgs

Exploring new ways to see the Higgs boson
Exploring new ways to see the Higgs boson The ATLAS and CMS collaborations presented their latest results on new signatures for detecting the Higgs boson at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. These include searches for rare transformations of the Higgs boson into a Z boson – which is a carrier of one of the fundamental forces

Re-discovering the Higgs boson in the Cloud
Re-discovering the Higgs boson in the Cloud It’s hard to believe that it has already been more than seven years since the discovery of the Higgs boson. Since then, numerous papers have been published by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations measuring the long-awaited particle’s properties in detail. Have you ever wondered whether one could repeat
