Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

When the Nobel Prize in Physics was announced in Stockholm in October 2013, the world was watching. Among the names read out ...

Gaseous detectors have long been an integral component of particle physics, providing essential data for tracking charged particles and elucidating complex event topologies in high-energy experiments.

Over a century ago, Ernest Rutherford discovered the proton by splitting the atom in a laboratory in Manchester. Today, researchers based in Manchester have discovered a new particle that Rutherford ...

Researchers at CERN have announced a new particle that is like a slightly heavier version of the proton. This new particle, ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab To learn more ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...
