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…
In 2012, the discovery of the Higgs boson marked a milestone in particle physics. It validated the standard model (SM) and unlocked new avenues of exploration. In 2022, the Higgs boson turned ten and the CMS experiment now presents a new…
