Ideas from beyond the standard model of particle physics, including technicolor and glueball Higgs particles, could explain the recent shock finding that the W boson is heavier than we thought
PARIS, April 8 After a decade of meticulous measurements, scientists announced Thursday that a fundamental particle the W boson has a significantly greater mass than theorised, shaking the foundations of our understanding of how the universe works. Those foundations are grounded by the.
you about a new discovery which is being described as the first step in a big shift in our understanding of the universe. scientists at fermilab just outside chicago have found that the mass of a particle is not what the main theory of sub atomic physics, states it should be. the result has been described as shocking by the researchers because the theory has successfully predicted the behaviour and properties of particles for 50 years. here s our science correspondent pallab ghosh. scientists explain how the universe works using the theories of physics. but those ideas could be about to change. a particle accelerator just outside chicago has made a measurement that could change physics forever. researchers here have discovered that the mass of a subatomic particle called a w boson is not what it should be. and in the world of physics,
