    Run 3 provides the Standard Model with a new victory at the energy frontier

    Even if the standard model of particle physics (SM) describes Nature incredibly well, it fails in providing insight to a number of observations such as the existence of dark matter.

  • Disclosing quantum corrections to electromagnetic interactions of tau leptons

    Disclosing quantum corrections to electromagnetic interactions of tau leptons

    In quantum electrodynamics (QED), the quantum theory of electromagnetic interactions, the magnetic dipole moment of a particle acquires quantum corrections originating from interactions with virtual photons and other particles, often referred to as the anomalous magnetic moment of that particle.
