Experiments at Fermilab’s soon-to-be-mothballed Tevatron particle accelerator in the United States have produced collision outcomes that indicate the existence of a new, unknown particle that is not predicted by the fundamental laws of physics. The findings have been posted to Arxiv and have been submitted for publication in the journalPhysical Review Letters. The researchers say […]

Physicists observe single top-quark
Physicists at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks. The discovery of the single top confirms important parameters of particle physics, including the total number of quarks, and has significance for the ongoing search for the Higgs boson. Previously, top quarks had only been observed […]
