Does the proton decay? While this was a famous prediction of Grand Unified Theories (GUTS) developed in the 1970s and 1980s, experimentalists have ruled it out—or rather, put lower limits on its ...

The decay of the kaon into one pion and two neutrinos had already been measured, but the earlier data was not sufficient to statistically substantiate the result. Only with the recently analyzed ...

The kaon, a special case of meson particle, is made of one quark and one antiquark. All are part of the overall family called hadrons. When kaon particles decay, a very rare few undergo a change ...

It’s the rarest particle decay ever discovered. Scientists have clinched the case for a special type of decay of subatomic particles called kaons. Further study of the rare decay could reveal a ...

As part of an experiment called NA62, researchers detected and measured an ultra-rare form of decay for a subatomic particle called a kaon. This is one of the rarest interactions in particle ...

K mesons or kaons are unstable and can decay in a number of ways. In one important but very rare decay, a positive kaon – a bound state of an up quark and a strange antiquark — decays into a positive ...

Once produced, the decay of the Omega-sub-b proceeds like fireworks. The particle travels about a millimeter before it disintegrates into two intermediate particles called J/Psi and Omega-minus.

They also predicted that certain quarks could decay through weak interactions into other quarks in ways that violate CP symmetry. Throughout the 1980s and ’90s, kaon experiments such as KTeV at ...

In a seminar taking place today at CERN, the NA62 collaboration reports a candidate event of this ultra-rare kaon decay found using a new "in-flight decay" approach. While this single event cannot ...

The kaon decay process has been explored since the 1960s – in fact, it won physicists James Cronin and Val Fitch the 1980 Nobel Prize for Physics for a 1964 experiment where they had set out to prove ...
