HEP Highlights

Researchers demonstrated record accelerating cavity performance using a technique that could lead to significant cost savings.

Beam chopper cuts accelerator-generated ion beams under highly demanding conditions.

Successful models of the fraught dynamics of two particle beams in close contact lead to smoother sailing in an area of particle acceleration.

Scientists use software to "develop" images that trace neutrinos' interactions in a bath of cold liquid argon.

The MicroBooNE experiment demonstrates the use of machine learning to interpret images made by a liquid-argon particle detector.

New crime scene investigation technique offers a hard look at the traces that particles leave before fleeing the scene.

Scientists developed a method to better distinguish the tracks that particles leave behind in liquid argon.

All SRF particle accelerators to-date use liquid helium to maintain the extremely cold temperatures necessary for sustaining superconductivity.

At present, scientists think that at the highest energies and earliest moments in time, all the fundamental forces may have existed as a single

The 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson marked the beginning of an experimental program aimed at determining the properties of the newly discovered

The discovery of the Higgs boson by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 relied on the observation of Higgs bosons

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) ran a version of the “muon wobble” experiment, known as “Muon g-2,” in

Scientists are working to resolve a case of mistaken identity in the world of physics. They want to disambiguate two types of neutrinos.

The primary component of the MicroBooNE detector is the TPC—a large, rectangular structure that includes a set of wire planes and readout

In the energy range of many oscillation experiments, the dominant interaction process is one in which a neutrino completely scatters off a neutron

The Nuclear Physics with Lattice Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration (NPLQCD), under the umbrella of the U.S. Quantum Chromodynamics Collaboration

The conventional method of merging beam pulses starts with an incoming pulse of energized hydrogen ions, H-, or a proton with two electrons, merges

Modern x-ray free-electron lasers use high-energy electrons to produce intense x-ray pulses to study the structure and behavior of matter. However,

The 2012 discovery of a Higgs boson by two of the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC’s) experiments—ATLAS (for ‎A Toroidal LHC

The detection of neutrino oscillations, a discovery that garnered the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics, is a proof that neutrinos have mass –
