The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

"First measurement of electron- and muon-neutrino interaction rates at the highest energy ever detected from an artificial source." ScienceDaily. www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2024 / 08 / ...

In the world of particle physics, you are never alone — quite literally. Every moment there is an invisible rainstorm of subatomic particles falling down on us from space. Unlike the kind of matter we ...

Scientists at Rice University, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of Chile offered a glimpse into a possible new path toward controlled nuclear fusion. Their report on ...

High-energy physics is facing its greatest crisis ever. The Standard Model is complete, as all the particles our most successful physics theories have predicted have been discovered. The Large Hadron ...

Hints of a new fundamental interaction are starting to look less like statistical ghosts and more like a pattern that refuses to go away. From the strange wobble of subatomic particles to puzzling ...

Scientists recently reexamined data from the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab taken between 2009 and 2011, and they found the first direct evidence of mono-energetic neutrinos, or neutrinos with ...

As beams of protons again begin zipping around the underground ring of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), teams of physicists are already competing to design a successor. Last week, US scientists staked ...

A 100-watt laser power could create a megawatt nuclear fusion generator. This would provide a total energy gain of more than ten thousand. It would have deuterium-tritium as fuel. It would use a novel ...

The best-laid plans of MICE and muons did not go awry: Physicists at the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, or MICE, collaboration have achieved their yearslong goal of quickly sapping ...
