ATLAS and CMS unite to weigh in on the top quark
The ATLAS and CMS Experiments at CERN have just released a new measurement of the mass of the top quark. The new result combines 15 previous measurements to give the most precise determination of the top-quark mass to date. Among the known…

ATLAS results: from precision to rarity
Two recent ATLAS results that showcase the full range of the ATLAS physics potential, from precision to rarity, were shown at LHCP and presented at a recent CERN LHC seminar. A test of the universality of τ and μ lepton couplings in W boson…

The top quark has a special position in the zoo of elementary particles, being the heaviest as well as one of the rarest fundamental particles ever sighted. With a mass of about 173 GeV, it has 40 times the mass of its partner, the bottom quark and…

Read moreATLAS observes Higgs boson produced in association with top quarks
The ATLAS collaboration presented the first evidence of “ttH production”, a rare process where a pair of top quarks emits a Higgs boson. Observing this process would provide new insight into the Higgs mechanism and allow for new studies of how…
