Symmetry between up and down quarks is more broken than expected In late 2023, Wojciech Brylinski was analysing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected anomaly – a strikingly large imbalance between charged and neutral kaons in argon–scandium collisions. He found that, instead of being produced […]

Accelerator Report: The LHC commissioning is well on track, but challenges lie ahead Last week, on 19 March, the first beam-based physics of the year began when protons from the PS hit the n_TOF target, producing the neutrons required for the n_TOF experiments. On that same day, physics was also scheduled to start in the
