Searching for dark energy with particle colliders
Searching for dark energy with particle colliders 2 GeV. For one type of coupling this is eleven orders of magnitude more stringent than constraints obtained from cosmological and solar system tests, and excludes previously popular models that require the coupling scale to lie close to the dark energy scale, Λ ~ 10 -3 eV. These

Where is Supersymmetry?
Where is Supersymmetry? The original ideas The original ideas for introducing supersymmetry dates back in the 1960s when, in the context of hadron physics that was found to be approximately spin-flavour independent, a symmetry between mesons and baryons was proposed. These ideas, largely ignored at the time, found their way through mathematical investigations related to

New measurement of the W boson mass by the ATLAS collaboration
New measurement of the W boson mass by the ATLAS collaboration The W electroweak gauge boson was discovered in 1983 at the CERN SPS collider. Although the properties of the W boson have been studied for more than 30 years, precise measurement of its mass remains a major challenge. BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url

Become a Higgs Hunter
Become a Higgs Hunter HiggsHunters is the first mass-participation citizen science project for the Large Hadron Collider, allowing non-experts to get directly involved in physics analysis. Since its launch in 2014 on the Zooniverse platform, over 30,000 people from 179 countries have participated in the project. Their work has led to the project’s first publication

Charting the Unknown: interpreting LHC data from the energy frontier
Charting the Unknown: interpreting LHC data from the energy frontier The LHC has started its Run2, exploring for the first time the high-energy frontier at 13 TeV. Collected data will give decisive information on the dynamics behind electroweak symmetry breaking and allow testing the weak-scale naturalness. A TH Institute “Charting the Unknown: Interpreting LHC data

LHC Restart 2016
LHC Restart 2016 The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data at 13TeV. The goal is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics which ulitmately in decades to come can drive innovation and inventions by researchers in other fields. The Higgs was the last piece of the
