Patrick Koppenburg and Marco Pappagallo survey the 23 exotic hadrons discovered at the LHC so far.
Marek Karliner and Jonathan Rosner ask what makes tetraquarks and pentaquarks tick, revealing them to be at times exotic compact states, at times hadronic molecules and at times both – with much still to be discovered.
A new measurement from the CMS experiment at the LHC contradicts the anomaly reported by CDF.
Two recent results may ease the tension between theory and experiment.
Fifty years ago, the discovery of the J/ψ and its excitations sparked the November Revolution in particle physics, giving fresh experimental impetus to the theoretical ideas that ...
Cosmologist Katie Mack talks to the Courier about how high-energy physics can succeed in #scicomm by throwing open the doors to academia.
As the CERN & Society Foundation turns 10, founding Director-General Rolf-Dieter Heuer argues that physicists have a duty to promote curiosity and evidence-based critical thinking.

The accidental symmetries observed between the three generations of leptons are poorly understood, with no compelling theoretical motivation.
Achieving a theoretical uncertainty of only a few per cent in the measurement of physical observables is a vastly challenging task in the complex environment of hadronic collisions...
Data on strokes is plentiful but fragmented, making it difficult to exploit in data-driven treatment strategies.
Dark Matter: Evidence, Theory and Constraints will be useful to those who wish to broaden or extend their research interests, for instance to a different dark-matter candidate.
The Implications of LHCb measurements and future prospects workshop drew together more than 200 theorists and experimentalists from across the world.
In their new book, From Spinors to Supersymmetry, Herbi Dreiner, Howard Haber and Stephen Martin describe the two-component formalism of spinors and its applications to particle ph...
The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, edited by Oliver Brüning and Lucio Rossi, provides a comprehensive review of an upgrade project designed to boost the total event statis...
Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable: the sixth symposium of the European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) attracted over 1,000 participants.
Hypernuclei remain a source of fascination due to their rarity in nature and the challenge of creating and studying them in the lab.
