New Result From Large Hadron Collider Challenges Leading Theory in Physics

  • Recently the LHCb Collaboration at CERN has found particles not behaving in the way they should according to the guiding theory of particle physics – the Standard Model.
  • The LHCb experiment is one of the four huge particle detectors at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The other three are ATLAS, CMS and ALICE.

Key Findings

  • The Standard Model of particle physics predicts that particles called beauty quarks, which are measured in the LHCb experiment, should decay into either muons or electrons in equal measure.
  • But these new measurements suggest the decays could be happening at different rates, which could suggest never-before-seen ....
