New W boson mass measurement agrees with Standard Model predictions
Source ↗ 👁 0 💬 0
Physicists have determined the mass of the W boson with the highest precision yet by analysing more than a billion proton collision events at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The new result confirms a prediction from the Standard Model of particle physics while refuting a comparably precise measurement made by Fermilab’s CDF Collaboration in 2022. This is significant because the older measurement, which used data from the defunct Tevatron collider, differed from the Standard Model’s predictio
