CERN Confirms Ultra-Rare Particle Transformation, Hints at New …
In a particle collider at CERN, a rarely-seen event is bringing us tantalizingly close to the brink of new physics. From years of running what is known as the NA62 experiment, particle physicist Cristina Lazzeroni of the University of Birmingham in the UK and her colleagues have now established, experimentally observed, and measured the decay of a charged kaon particle into a charged pion and ...
