New LHC data puts ‘new physics’ lead to bed

Posted on December 20, 2022 by

One particle in the big zoo of subatomic particles is the B meson. It has a very short lifetime once it’s created. In rare instances it decays to three lighter particles: a kaon, a lepton and an anti-lepton. There are … Continue reading →

On meson decay-modes in studying CP violation

Posted on November 20, 2012 by

In particle physics, CPT symmetry is an attribute of the universe that is held as fundamentally true by quantum field theory (QFT). It states that the laws of physics should not be changed and the opposite of all allowed motions … Continue reading →
