Featuring the world’s largest digital camera, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will capture these mysterious phenomena in more exquisite detail than ever before.
Mark Thomson is professor of experimental particle physics at the University of Cambridge and was executive chair of the UK’s Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) until his confirmation as CERN’s next Director-General by the CERN Council in December.
Scientists on the ATLAS experiment explored the polarization of W bosons to test the Higgs mechanism and gain a deeper understanding of the first moments after the Big Bang.
Indirectly testing this theory, motivated by the mysterious mass of the Higgs boson, could be within reach for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.
