Why is the mass of the Higgs particle lighter than expected?

Researchers have built a model according to which the mass of the Higgs boson, which helps produce the mass of elementary particles, changed in the early universe, and is therefore much smaller than the standard model of particle physics describes

There are 23 member states in the organization, of which Israel is the only member state that is not from Europe. Israel joined the organization as a full member in December 2013, after many years of participating only as an observer.

A new model for dark matter opens new avenues for its search

  • 28 תגובות
A new model published by researchers from Melbourne and CERN raises the possibility that dark matter is heavier than we thought until now. The researchers hope that the paper they published will encourage experimenters to look for new avenues for detecting dark matter

For the first time a time-dependent asymmetry between matter and antimatter was observed

  • 7 תגובות
For the first time the large accelerator in Geneva measured "temporal asymmetry" between matter and antimatter. Although the standard model may explain the phenomenon, the discovery is another way to measure the imbalance between the particles and hopefully also to predict new physics
