Scientists are exploring the possibility of a hidden layer of reality called the 'zeptouniverse' at scales smaller than those currently accessible by the Large Hadron Collider, using indirect methods like studying rare particle decays, which could reveal new physics beyond the Standard Model within the next decade.
Detectors at the Large Hadron Collider have observed the rare decay of the Higgs boson into a photon and a 'Z boson', a behavior predicted to occur only once or twice in every 1,000 such events, shedding new light on the behavior of this famed particle.
Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have discovered the first evidence of the extremely rare transformation of the Higgs boson, which could hint at unknown particles. The results fall within the range of what the Standard Model predicts, but the process can be improved to help determine where exotic new forces and building blocks might exist. The Higgs particle became the darling of the physics world in 2012 when evidence of its existence was confirmed, and its observation promised to be a window into hidden parts of the quantum realm.
