Chakraborty has led design of calorimeters and software that would be used at the proposed International Linear Collider, a next generation accelerator.

Physicists at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory are planning to announce Wednesday that they have found a suspicious bump in their data that could be evidence of a new elementary particle or even, some say, a new force of nature.

Scientists from across the world are celebrating the successful start up of the pioneering EMMA accelerator which is set to impact fundamental science and change the way such particle accelerators across the world are designed and built in the future.

A revised calculation suggests that around 3% of particles have gone missing from nuclear reactor experiments.

In new work, high-energy physicists have observed two long-sought quantum states in the bottomonium family of sub-atomic particles. The result will help researchers better understand one of the four fundamental forces of the universe — the strong force — that helps govern the interactions of matter.

This video report for physicsworld.com brings an update from the particle-physics lab near Geneva on the search for the Higgs and new physics beyond the Standard Model.

Physicists at the LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider recently reported the first observations of a new way that particles called Bs mesons decay into other particles. Studying this particular decay could provide clues as to why the universe is made up of matter rather than antimatter.
