In particle physics, data long outlives the detectors that generate it. A decade ago the 4,100-metric-ton Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) reached the end of its life and was shut down, stripped of ...

An international collaboration has shown that additive manufacturing offers a realistic way to build large-scale plastic scintillator detectors for particle physics experiments. In 2024, the T2K ...

In the literal sense, nothing is simpler than an elementary particle: By definition, a particle is considered to be elementary only if there is no evidence that it is made up of smaller constituents.

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

This open meeting of the Committee on Elementary Particle Physics will feature a panel on the benefits of elementary particle physics (EPP). The meeting will be ...

First results from the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab have strengthened evidence of new physics. The centerpiece of the experiment is a 50-foot-diameter superconducting magnetic storage ring, which ...

Luther College Physics Professor Todd Pedlar has received his seventh consecutive National Science Foundation (NSF) research grant. Since 2006, NSF grants have allowed Pedlar and Luther students to ...

An experiment which could confirm the fifth state of matter in the universe - and change physics as we know it - has been published in a new paper from the University of Portsmouth. Physicist Dr ...
