Understanding neutrino interactions is crucial for obtaining a complete picture of particle physics and the universe. To date, neutrino interaction cross sections have not been measured at high energy ...

The muon is a subatomic particle that resembles an electron but is 200 times heavier. It interacts with nuclei through the weak force, one of the four fundamental forces in the Universe. When a muon ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. If you want to probe the frontiers of fundamental physics, you have to ...

Protons and neutrons, which are collectively known as nucleons, are the building blocks of atomic nuclei and account for more than 99% of the visible matter in the Universe. They are not themselves ...

TL;DR: The proton may be a little smaller than previously thought (by about 3-4%). So which is more likely at this point: Have previous measurements been off by that much, or did this one group screw ...

The radius of the proton is significantly smaller than previously thought, say physicists who have measured it to the best accuracy yet. The surprising result was obtained by studying “muonic” ...

A precise new measurement of the size of the proton shows a decade-long problem may now have a solution. The proton is arguably the most important particle to our everyday lives, forming one of the ...

Researchers have made a precise measurement of the size of the proton -- a crucial step towards solving a mystery that has preoccupied scientists around the world for the past decade. The world's ...

Researchers obtain the first direct observation of electron and muon neutrino interactions at the Large Hadron Collider using the FASERν detector Neutrinos are fundamental particles in the Standard ...
