An international team of researchers found strong evidence suggesting that a subatomic particle called a muon might be breaking the accepted laws of physics. During an experiment at the Fermi [...]

What is the Standard Model of Particle Physics? The Standard Model is our best description of the subatomic world. Join ZME for a stroll through the particle zoo. Reset By the mid-20th Century, physicists had begun to understand the fundamental structure of matter to such a degree that a theory was needed to encapsulate the Universe’s particles, the interactions between them and the forces that govern those interactions. That theory was the Standard Model of Particle Physics or just the Stan...

There are regions of space in our universe that may dominated by antimatter creating stars, planets, and galaxies—and could even contain life.

Credit: KOU Wei Researchers have recently extracted the proton mass radius from the experimental data. A research group at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) presented an analysis of the proton mass radius in Physical Review D on May 11. The proton mass radius is determined to be 0.67 ± 0.03 femtometers, which is obviously smaller than the charge radius of the proton. In the Standard Model, the proton is a composite particle made of quarks and gluon...

By NewEnglandBob (not verified) on 04 Nov 2010 #permalink NewEnglandBob, Mu, Its a very difficult concept to explain in a blog post. If Im feeling up to it, maybe Ill give it a shot soon. By esiegel on 04 Nov 2010 #permalink Stupid (stupidest?) question: What exactly is mass in the sense used here? My Joe Schmoe idea of a thing with mass is something that has momentum or that is influenced by gravity or weighs something when put on a scale. :) But photons have both momentum and are affected by...

Florida International University Search May 9, 2021 at 9:52am Jason Bono was one of the researchers behind a major scientific moment — when tiny particles unexpectedly unraveled one of the most important and successful theories in physics. Bono, who earned his Ph.D. in physics from FIU in 2014, was part of an international team of 160 physicists who worked on the Muon g-2 experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. They found these tiny particles —...

14:00 If you have a question about this talk, please contact James Bonifacio. Modern cosmology has been remarkably successful in describing the universe from a second after the Big Bang until today. However, its physics before that time is still much less certain. It profoundly involves particle theory beyond the Standard Model to explain long-standing puzzles: the origin of the observed matter asymmetry, and massive neutrinos, as well as the particle physics of dark matter and cosmic inflation...

Part of the LHCb experiment 0 May 6, 2021 11:10 by Matthew Bird Christina Giallombardo Physics is all about challenging our current understanding of the universe and searching for answers to many unresolved issues. Recently, the muon has become the star of the show with the release of evidence from the LHCb at CERN and Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment, both of which hint at tantalising, new physics. The Standard Model of Particle Physics is a compilation of theori...

Quantum physics is an endeavour to explain the nature and the interactions between subatomic particles.  In the quantum realm, particles act weird.…
