Two quarks for Muster Higgs

Posted on 23/07/2018 by Jon Butterworth

Since the big discovery of 2012, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN has been accumulating data and making steady progress. Two recent results establish the origins of the mass of the two heaviest quarks At the Guardian.

Getting to the bottom of the Higgs boson

Posted on 10/07/2017 by Jon Butterworth

As the Large Hadron Collider at CERN continues probing the high-energy frontier of physics, a new feature of its greatest discovery so far has come into view In high-energy particle collisions we study the smallest known constituents of matter. According … Continue reading →
