How particle physics will continue after the last collider

How particle physics will continue after the last collider

Since the 1800s, energetic particles have probed the fundamental nature of matter. Rutherford’s gold foil experiment showed that the atom was mostly empty space, but that there was a concentration of mass at one point that was far greater than the mass of an alpha particle: the atomic nucleus. By observing that some of the emitted, radioactive particles bounced back, or ricocheted off, in a different direction than they were emitted in, Rutherf…

ATLAS collaboration uncovers rare Higgs-boson decay, unlocking new frontiers in particle physics

ATLAS scientists reveal new evidence of rare Higgs-boson decays to muons and Z boson–photon pairs, offering deeper insight into new physics.
