Particle and high energy physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the interactions that govern them across the smallest distance scales and highest energies. The Standard ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow scientists to study the behavior and properties of the particles produced in ...

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research. A team of researchers from the U.S.

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

The Large Hadron Collider hasn’t seen any new particles since the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Here’s what researchers are trying to do about it. In 1977, Ray and Charles Eames released a ...

Particle and high energy physics is dedicated to unravelling the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces governing their interactions. This field encompasses experimental efforts at the ...
