Scientists of the CDF and DZero collider experiments at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab revealed their latest Higgs search results today (July 26) at the International Conference on High Energy Physics, held in Paris from July 22-28. Their results rule out a significant fraction of the allowed mass range established by earlier experiments.

  • Newswire: Fermilab - New measurements from Fermilab's MINOS experiment suggest a difference in a key property of neutrinos and antineutrinos

    Updated: 2010-06-14 15:20:00
    Batavia, Ill. - Scientists of the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator laboratory today (June 14) announced the world's most precise measurement to date of the parameters that govern antineutrino oscillations, the back-and-forth transformations of antineutrinos from one type to another. This result provides information about the difference in mass between different antineutrino types. The measurement showed an unexpected variance in the values for neutrinos and antineutrinos. This mass difference parameter, called delta m squared, is smaller by approximately 40 percent for neutrinos than for antineutrinos.
