What is the W boson mass trying to tell us?
What is the W boson mass trying to tell us? Introduction In April this year the CDF collaboration shocked the particle physics world with a new measurement of the mass of the W boson particle [1], with a precision better than all previous results combined, and a value of the W mass higher than the

ATLAS faces the challenge of Run 3
ATLAS faces the challenge of Run 3 The ATLAS experiment is a general-purpose particle detector operating at the LHC. It consists of several concentric layers of particle detectors occupying a cylindrical volume 46m long and 25m in diameter. The innermost detectors reconstruct the trajectories of charged particles produced in the beam collisions with high precision.

CMS experiment prepares for Run 3
CMS experiment prepares for Run 3 The CMS experiment is one of the four large experiments at the LHC and a detailed description of the detector’s inner and outer layers can be found here. The detector successfully operated with LHC collisions since 2010 leading to the Higgs boson discovery in 2012 by the CMS and

LHCb experiment looks forward
LHCb experiment looks forward The LHCb detector provides unique precision coverage of the forward region at the LHC, enabling world-leading studies of flavour physics and more. The collaboration is currently installing the first major upgrade of the detector. This upgrade will allow proton collisions with an instantaneous luminosity of 2 x 1033 cm-2s-1, an increase

Higgs physics at future colliders
Higgs physics at future colliders In her article, Caterina Vernieri, reviews the potential of proposed future colliders to study the Higgs boson and further explore the electroweak sector beyond the LHC following her presentation on the Higgs 2020 conference. Caterina, is a member of the ATLAS collaboration (previously CMS 2012-2018) and co-convener of the Higgs
