An unusual and “wonderful” particle decay at CERN

Does a serious crack appear in the beautiful house of particle physics? More specifically, the current model, also known as the static model, which has so far best described all cases of infinite small, has been mistaken for the first time? The international LHCP test, installed at CERN in Switzerland on the LHC underground particle accelerator, however, has released the most accurate image of the code pointing in this direction.

But does it explode plaster or does the wall itself move? This is very quick to say, because these results can be explained by chance: drawing unusual double sixes does not mean that the dice are mounted. “Our results are one of 1000 opportunities to fully comply with the standard model”, Confirms spokesman Chris Parks LHCP, who Outlined his results During a teleconference at CERN on Tuesday, March 23rd.

So the researchers found an anomaly 20 meters long and 4,500 tons in their finder. The LHC accelerator violently pushes pockets of protons against each other, which are key components of normal matter. Among the debris, in 2012, CERN identified the last particle Higgs boson to complete the standard model. But other particles are produced. Some so-called missions may decompose themselves into other particles that the LHCP test counts.

And, very rarely, once in a million conflicts in a row, one of these missions will disappear in a certain way. By releasing a pair of electrons and opposite electrons. Or a pair of muons and antimones (twice as heavy as the electron’s relative).

“Lepton Globalism”

The standard model predicts that these two rules are equally likely to occur and that even experts speak. “Leptonic Globalization” (Electrons and mions belonging to the lepton family). But experience shows that the first occurs 15% more often than the second … And if this difference is confirmed, it can only be explained by the addition of new laws, new powers, or new particles in full. Outside the current framework. It will then be the moving foundation.

“I’m excited with caution”, Summarizes Chris Parks, recalling that other tests such as Baber in the United States, Belle in Japan, or CERN, Atlas and CMS have already found traces in the same direction, although less accurate. “It’s more satisfying than an excitement, because in reality these results go in the direction of other data, Sebastian Descots-Zenon, deputy director of the Erin-Joliet-Curie Physics Laboratory of the Two Infinities (RCE) recalled. But, with this precision, a psychological threshold is probably crossed. “
