"Exploring New Particles: The Large Hadron Collider's Ongoing Search"
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider are expanding their search for new particles by updating the trigger of the CMS detector to scout for long-lived particles that can travel before decaying into more stable byproducts. This effort aims to address the limitations of the Standard Model and potentially provide insights into phenomena such as dark matter. The updated trigger system has significantly improved the sensitivity of the searches, and scientists are currently analyzing a new dataset in hopes of finding new particles or setting more stringent limits on long-lived particles.
