Why are the masses of elementary particles not invariant? IFIC researchers, in collaboration with researchers from the Universities of Vienna and Tohoku and the Paul Scherrer Institute, measure for the first time the mass of the bottom quark from its interactions with the Higgs boson and confirm, as predicted by theory, that it is not […]

¿Por qué las masas de las partículas fundamentales no son invariables?
¿Por qué las masas de las partículas elementales no son invariables? Investigadores del IFIC, en colaboración con investigadores de las Universidades de Viena y Tohoku y el Instituto Paul Scherrer, miden por primera vez la masa del quark bottom a partir de sus interacciones con el bosón de Higgs y confirman, como predice la teoría, […]
The MoEDAL and the Nature
The MoEDAL and the Nature The MoEDAL experiement publishes the first search for magnetic monopoles produced in strong magnetic fields in heavy-ion collisions Limits on the mass of magnetic monopoles could be established for the first time, as the production cross section for the Schwinger mechanism is calculable nonperturbatively. Several models beyond the Standard Model […]
The SiW-ECAL prototype of CALICE visits DESY II
The SiW-ECAL prototype of CALICE visits DESY II The SiW-ECAL team of CALICE has tested the calorimeter with beam data at the DESY facility in November 2021 The CALICE SiW-ECAL (highly granular silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter) is the reference design of the ECAL for International Large Detector (ILD) concept, one of the two detector concepts for […]
