Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...

In nuclear beta decay an up quark ‘u’ in a proton converts into an up down quark ‘d,’ turning the proton into a neutron and emitting a positron and a neutrino. This work affects interpretation of beta ...

The study of heavy flavour physics focuses on the behaviour of particles containing heavy quarks, such as the bottom (b) and charm (c) quarks, within the framework of the Standard Model and beyond.

When protons smash against a beryllium target in CERN’s Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS), the resulting subatomic chaos produces a smattering of kaons—a kind of subatomic particle. Physicists predict ...
