Science & TechPhysicists Detect Evidence of Rare Particle Decay at CERN
Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have detected evidence of a rare beauty particle decay into two muons. The LHCb experiment's finding, with a statistical significance of 3.2 sigma, is a step towards confirming a process predicted to occur once in ten billion decays, a search that has been ongoing for over 40 years.

Science & Tech · European UnionCERN experiment finds evidence for gluon saturation in atomic nuclei
A study led by University of Kansas physicist Daniel Tapia Takaki at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider provides the first multidimensional measurement of incoherent J/ψ photonuclear production, offering evidence for gluon saturation inside atomic nuclei and challenging the long-standing nuclear shadowing model.
