CERN measurement casts doubt on shocking W boson result

A tantalising discrepancy from the usual mannequin of particle physics hasn’t persevered in new outcomes from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). While the earlier consequence created a frenzy of hypotheses about new particles and changes to the usual mannequin that might account for the discrepancy, there may be rising proof that it was not fairly appropriate.

In 2022, researchers analysing archival knowledge from the now-shuttered Tevatron collider in Illinois discovered {that a} basic particle known as the W boson gave the impression to be …
