  Top quarks are the heaviest known elementary particles, as heavy as a tungsten atom. In high energy proton proton collisions at the LHC about 10 pairs of a top quark and its antiparticle are produced every second. But they are not here to…

  Recent observations from experiments worldwide have reported anomalies in the decays of a bottom quark to a charm quark, a charged lepton (electron, muon, or tau), and the corresponding neutrino. These observations hint at possible deviations…

Supersymmetry, or SUSY in short, is an exciting and beautiful theory that answers some of the open questions in particle physics, predicting that all known particles have a partner (a superpartner!) with somewhat different properties. For example,…
