If the new GeV-scale force-carrier in the model is a non-Abelian gauge boson, then the dark matter will naturally take the form of a multiplet of states, with mass splittings of the order of ...

It emphasizes the concepts of gauge theories and Higgs physics, electroweak unification and symmetry breaking ... After covering the basics of the Standard Model and the recently discovered Higgs ...

so that the idea of an emergent gauge field enters the vocabulary of condensed-matter physics, just as the emergence of a Goldstone boson entered the vocabulary of critical phenomena several ...

The concepts of fractionalization and emergent gauge fields are introduced using the simplest resonating valence bond insulator with an energy gap, the Z2 spin liquid. Concepts in band topology and ...

The Higgs boson is special kind of particle that doesn't really appear in everyday life. Instead, it subtly interacts with ...

The physicist Peter Higgs quietly revolutionised quantum field theory, then lived long enough to see the discovery of the Higgs boson he theorised. Despite receiving a Nobel prize, he remained in ...

Running a car nowadays is an expensive business, but investing in a good tyre pressure gauge is an easy way to save money while staying safe. When your tyres are inflated to the manufacturer’s ...

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...

The rate of U.S. inflation using the Federal Reserve’s favorite gauge is likely to show prices rising in August slightly faster than the central bank’s 2% goal, but on a downward trend that ...

Looking after your tyres pays dividends because under-inflation may cause uneven wear and make them prematurely illegal. To be within the law, a tyre must have more than 1.6mm of tread depth ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — As a presidential race profoundly shaped by Americans' frustration with high prices nears its end, the government said Thursday that an inflation gauge closely watched by the ...

Bosons are the 'force carrying' or 'force-mediating' particles. If a fermion, such as a quark or lepton produces a boson, which is then taken in by another fermion, then a force exists between the ...
