Physicists from the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have found first evidence of the Higgs boson decaying to a low-mass dilepton system (either an electron or a muon pair with opposite charge) and a photon. Known as Dalitz decay, this is one of …

Physicists from the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC ApparatuS) and CMS (Compact-Muon-Solenoid) collaborations at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have reported strong evidence for the Higgs boson decay to a pair of muons. Candidate event displays of a Higgs boson decaying into two muons as recorded by CMS (left) and ATLAS (right). …

A study led by University of Adelaide researcher Julien Soubrier has revealed that prehistoric European cave artists recorded a previously unknown hybrid species of bison and cattle on cave walls more than 15,000 years ago. Charcoal drawing of a steppe bison in Chauvet-Pont d’Arc cave, Arde?che, France. Image credit: Carole …
