The Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) whose participants include a UT physicist delivered recommendations to decision makers. ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Physicists just discovered a brand-new particle that appears to be an exotic cousin to the protons and neutrons that make up ...

A novel theory of 'wavy space-time' suggests that the division between our best descriptions of the universe on its smallest and largest scales may be because gravity does not play by quantum rules.

A new and surprising duality has been discovered in theoretical particle physics. The duality exists between two types of scattering processes that can occur in the proton collisions made in the Large ...

Energetic particles that arise when cosmic rays hit Earth’s atmosphere could help assess hidden damage to buildings in Ukraine after the war. Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the ...

Particle physics seeks to understand the fundamental constituents of matter and the forces that govern their interactions. The field has evolved from early studies of protons, neutrons and electrons ...
