Evidence of brand new physics at Cern? Why we’re cautiously optimistic about our new findings – The Conversation UK
If the finding really is the result of new fundamental particles then it will finally be the breakthrough that physicists have been yearning for for decades.
When Cerns gargantuan accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), fired up ten years ago, hopes abounded that new particles would soon be discovered that could help us unravel physics deepest mysteries. Dark matter, microscopic black holes and hidden dimensions were just some of the possibilities. But aside from the spectacular discovery of the Higgs boson, the project has failed to yield any clues as to what might lie beyond the standard model of particle physics, our current best theory of the…
