The latest results have moved scientists closer to disproving the standard model of particle physics, though uncertainty still remains. A new study has bolstered the idea that an unknown fifth force ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

The resulting collisions make new and interesting particles. What is the Standard Model of particle physics? The Standard Model of particle physics describes all of the known elementary particles and ...
