On the hunt for new particles, Leon Lederman’s team “found” one that turned out to be a trick of the data. Then, a year after the “Oops-Leon” incident, they discovered the real deal.
A team of young scientists paused their new physics searches to develop an innovative machine-learning tool, which is now helping them narrow in on a rare and messy decay of the Higgs boson.
A video from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory explains how the upcoming LZ experiment will search for the missing 85 percent of the matter in the universe.
