Welcome to the precision era
Our sixth story in the LHC Physics at Ten series looks at the precision measurements of the Standard Model made at the Large Hadron Collider Bs0→ μ+μ- decay candidate event recorded in 2016 (Image: CERN) At the start of 2010, the particle physics community was abuzz with hopes and excitement. Just a few weeks later, the experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) would venture beyond the energy frontier, where physicists hoped to find exotic particles that would pave the way for a more complete theory of the infinitely small: to physics beyond the Standard Model. ...
