The mass of the W boson particle has been found by the Large Hadron Collider to be exactly what the Standard Model of particle physics predicts it to be, contradicting earlier results from ...

This new measurement, which is a first for the CMS experiment, uses a new technique that makes it the most elaborate investigation of the W boson's mass to date. Following nearly a decade of ...

This new measurement, the first for the CMS experiment, employs a novel technique, making it the most thorough investigation ...

The physicist Peter Higgs quietly revolutionised quantum field theory, then lived long enough to see the discovery of the Higgs boson he theorised. Despite receiving a Nobel prize, he remained in ...

Cisco Certified Network Associate, or CCNA, is an industry standard entry-level information technology credential awarded by Cisco. CCNA certification shows that the holder can work effectively ...

Bosons are the 'force carrying' or 'force-mediating' particles. If a fermion, such as a quark or lepton produces a boson, which is then taken in by another fermion, then a force exists between the ...

Peter Higgs, a giant of British science who came up with the idea of the Higgs boson particle, has died aged 94. He was awarded the Nobel prize for Physics in 2013 for his revolutionary work ...

Large Hadron Collider has ended W boson fever. "We have to search for new physics elsewhere," one researcher says. The mass of the W boson particle has been found by the Large Hadron Collider to ...

The new CMS measurement has a precision of 0.01%. This level of precision corresponds to measuring a 4-inch-long pencil to between 3.9996 and 4.0004 inches. But unlike pencils, the W boson is a ...
