It sounds fantastical, but it’s a reality for the scientists who work at the world’s largest particle collider: In an underground tunnel some 350 feet beneath the France–Switzerland border, a huge ...

Scientists have published a comprehensive analysis aimed at determining which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles from heavy ion collisions. The results will help the ...

CMS scientists are analyzing the first dataset gathered through a new tool designed to search for long-lived particles. Since the 1960s, scientists have discovered more than a dozen fundamental ...

Scientists hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized they may already have the detector to do it. Physicist Cristián Peña grew up in Talca, a small town a ...

UPTON, NY—Scientists in the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—an atom smasher at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory—have published a ...
