The new W boson measurement is inconsistent with our conception of the Universe
The W boson appears more massive than previous measurements showed. What is the implication for the Standard Model of particle physics? Four fundamental forces govern the Universe: the strong force,…
The W boson is said to be too heavy
The W boson is an elementary particle that has so far made little attempt to start a physical revolution. But now a research team has measured its mass again and…
The W boson has problems with its mass
According to a measurement at Fermilab, the W boson is more massive than allowed in the Standard Model of particle physics. Is this another storm in a teacup? Or is…
