In a study published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), scientists from MIT, Harvard, and other institutions describe Lumina, a large-scale, high-resolution simulation that ...

The standard model of particle physics represents the most comprehensive theory about fundamental or subatomic particles and forces in the universe. The model describes how matter and antimatter ...

Muons are one of the key subatomic particles for discovering new physics, but tracking them after particle collisions can be difficult and prone to error. A new study ...

A clever mathematical tool known as virtual particles unlocks the strange and mysterious inner workings of subatomic particles. What happens to these particles within atoms would stay unexplained ...

Collisions between particles at high energies can sometimes produce new particles and shed light on interactions between the fundamental constituents of matter. Simulating these collisions and their ...

Pions are subatomic particles that help bind matter at some of the smallest scales in nature. They are closely connected to the strong nuclear force, the fundamental force that holds protons and ...

A signal from the decay products of a meson—a quark and an antiquark—comes from two subatomic particles and not one, as previously thought. High-energy collision experiments have helped particle ...

Researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have achieved a groundbreaking first by recreating high-energy cosmic ray collisions with Earth's atmospheric gases in a lab, offering unprecedented ...
