Two quarks for Muster Higgs
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.
How much mass does the W boson have?
And why it matters Whenever I describe the fundamental forces to an audience that does not entirely consist of other particle physicists (happens more often that you might think), it is the weak force that causes trouble. Electromagnetism holds atoms … Continue reading

A day of xenon collisions at CERN
On Friday, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN had a day of smashing xenon nuclei together, a departure from its usual diet of protons or lead At the Guardian.
Experiment reveals evidence for a previously unseen behaviour of light
Beams of light do not, generally speaking, bounce off each other like snooker balls. But at the high energies in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN they have just been observed doing exactly that At the Guardian.
