As the carriers of the weak force, the W and Z bosons are central to the Standard Model of particle physics. Though discovered four decades ago, the W and Z bosons continue to provide physicists with ...

The CMS experiment at CERN is the latest to weigh in on the mass of the W boson—an elementary particle that, along with the Z boson, mediates the weak force, which is responsible for a form of ...

Scientists at CERN’s ATLAS experiment have uncovered compelling evidence of Higgs bosons decaying into muons, an incredibly rare event that could deepen our understanding of how particles acquire mass ...

Nearly four decades ago, researchers at CERN identified a massive, electrically neutral particle known as the Z boson. This was a big breakthrough in particle physics, as the Z boson is responsible ...

Nobel Laureate Peter Higgs died earlier this year. Twelve years ago this week, physicists discovered the particle that bears his name. When researchers at the Large Hadron Collider announced the ...

Physicists on the CMS experiment announce the most elaborate mass measurement of a particle that has captivated the physics community for decades. Following up on an unexpected measurement by the ...
