ABSTRACT: In this paper, it is hypothesized that within a free neutron there is a virtual “dormant” force carrier Z0 boson with the same net charge and can get “activated” by the down quark decay and ...

The New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 42-10 on Thurday night as the Giants various backup quarterbacks went off to varying degrees, with local legend Tommy DeVito completing 17 of 20 ...

Scientists on the ATLAS experiment explored the polarization of W bosons to test the Higgs mechanism and gain a deeper understanding of the first moments after the Big Bang. After the Big Bang, the ...

In the Standard Model (SM), W and Z bosons acquire mass and longitudinal polarisation through electroweak (EW) symmetry breaking, where the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism transforms Goldstone bosons ...

In their search for more flavors of Higgs bosons, a team of researchers at CERN stumbled across what could be evidence of the smallest matter-antimatter particle ever. The hypoethical particle, known ...

Physicists with the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have announced the first observation of VVZ production — a rare combination of three massive vector bosons. As the carriers of ...

Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Using data from high-energy proton-proton collisions in Run 2 of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists with the CMS Collaboration have released its latest search for the production of Higgs ...
