Cern Experiment Measures Key Component Of Standard Model, Shedding New Light on an Old Mystery
A recent CERN experiment has resulted in new high-precision measurements involving a key component of the Standard Model of physics.

CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has produced the most precise measurement of a key component in the Standard Model using proton-proton collisions, surpassing the level of precision typically seen in electron-positron experiments. The analysis involved handling the background noise from simultaneous collisions and is paving the way for even more precise measurements at future LHC upgrades.
- CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has produced the most precise measurement of a key component in the Standard Model using proton-proton collisions.
- The analysis involved handling the background noise from simultaneous collisions and is paving the way for even more precise measurements at future LHC upgrades.
- This precision rivals that obtained through electron-positron experiments, which are known to be ideal for high-precision measurements.
- The data was gathered between 2016 and 2018 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, representing almost 1 billion million collisions.
- This development is significant because protons are not elementary particles like electrons, making the analysis more complex and challenging.
