Quark Matter 2025 is the XXXI international conference on ultra-relativistic nucleus–nucleus collisions, which will be held in Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany. This conference brings together theoretical ...
The freshly-completed upgrade of the detectors and the harvest of Pb–Pb collision data expected in Run 3 will further improve the measurements.
Until now, ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) were thought to be black holes, because their high luminosity implied a mass exceeding by far the maximal mass of a neutron star. The most luminous of th ...
In March, CERN selected a new experiment called SHiP to search for hidden particles using high-intensity proton beams from the SPS. Read article 'Probing resonant production of Higgs bosons' No known ...
Do particles and their antiparticles behave in the same way? Even tiny differences could be amplified over astronomical distances to produce very large effects. Read article 'Linear collider physics: ...
The meeting was inspired by several recent proposals to take advantage of the unique environment of heavy-ion collisions at the LHC to search for new phenomena. Since the first school in 2001, there ...
Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that would carry magnetic charge, a concept first proposed by Paul Dirac in 1931.
The CLOUD collaboration at CERN has revealed a new source of atmospheric aerosol particles that could help scientists to refine climate models.
For optical astronomy, the space station will be accompanied by the Xuntian telescope, which can be translated to “survey the heavens”. Xuntian is currently planned to be launched in mid-2025 to fly ...
The 96th ICFA meeting heard extensive reports from the leading HEP laboratories and various world regions on their recent activities and plans.
