With its updated analysis methods, the ATLAS collaboration has significantly improved the precision of its measurements of Higgs boson interactions
The rarest hyperon decay ever observed
The interaction strength of neutrinos had never previously been measured in this energy range
For the coming 5 weeks the LHC experiments will be taking data for their heavy-ion physics programmes
CMS presents results of searches for long-lived neutral particles
The CMS experiment awaits LHC Run 3 to explore several analyses showing small disagreements with theory expectations
New results from the LHCb experiment on CP asymmetry in charmless three-body charged B meson decays include the largest CP asymmetry ever observed
Discovery of a new exotic hadron containing two charm quarks and an up and a down antiquark
Both the CMS and ATLAS experiments have performed luminosity measurements with spectacular precision
Over the past 10 years, the LHC has found more than 50 new particles called hadrons
