Highlights from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station
Highlights from the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer on the International Space Station The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, AMS, is a high-energy particle detector performing unprecedented-precision measurements of cosmic rays of rigidity (momentum/charge) ranging from GV to 3 TV on the International Space Station (ISS). AMS has now reached 13 years of continuous operation, and it has collected

Probing Anomalies: CMS experiment investigates possible hints of new physics
Probing Anomalies: CMS experiment investigates possible hints of new physics For a few years, the work of the LHC community has been split between the exploitation of the LHC Run2 and first Run3 data and the preparation for the High Luminosity (HL) phase. At the HL-LHC, the effort of searching for new physics will be

MoEDAL-MAPP Experiment’s Quest for Anomalously Charged Avatars of New Physics
MoEDAL-MAPP Experiment’s Quest for Anomalously Charged Avatars of New Physics Nature, as described by the Standard Model (SM), has decreed that stable or pseudo-stable subnuclear charged particles can only have an observable electrical charge of ±1e, where e is the charge of an electron and that there is no magnetic charge. Thus, searching for anomalously

Exploration with LHCb: from unseen to rare
Exploration with LHCb: from unseen to rare Flavour physics, even at low-energy scales, offers a glimpse at energy scales far higher than those reachable directly thanks to the quantum loop effects, which are present in the quark transitions. The rarer or more suppressed a given transition is within the standard model (SM) of particle physics,
