Shattering Protons in High-Energy Collisions Confirms Higgs Boson Production

New results confirm the rate of Higgs boson production, matching our understanding of how the universe works.

New Limits in the Search for Sterile Neutrinos

New searches for sterile neutrinos, hypothetical particles that do not directly “talk to” any particles in the Standard Model, significantly narrow the remaining regions where these particles may be hiding.
