Left: Two-parameter probability sweep of off-shell production signal intensity parameters gg and EW, off-shellF and off-shellV, respectively. Dotted and dashed contours enclose the 68% (−2Δln=2.30) and 95% (−2Δln=5.99) CL regions. The cross marks the minimum and the blue diamond marks the SM hold. The integrated luminosity only reaches 138 fb-1 because 4ℓ on-hull events are …

NASA has announced the release of the James Webb History Report, a document detailing their investigation of the Next Generation Space Telescope’s namesake which headed into space on December 25, 2021. Months before its launch, the observatory was the subject of controversy when it was revealed that Webb was involved in the so-called “Lavender Scare”. …
At noon, on the road to Grünland, a Mennonite colony in the Bolivian department of Beni, the only noise is that of a distant chainsaw. On either side, strips of deforested land stretch out into the distance. Underfoot, the ground is strewn with shards of ceramics and bone: remnants of the pre-Columbian peoples that this …

Mars is known for its crimson, frozen terrain, but a recent discovery by a team of researchers provides new evidence that there was once an ancient ocean in the now-challenging Martian terrain. This discovery is proof that Mars was, at one point in its history, quite different – a hot, humid planet. Evidence for a …
Since the Cambrian Explosion 538.8 million years ago – a time when many of the animal phyla we know today were established – five major mass extinction events have reduced the biodiversity of all creatures, large and small. American researchers have discovered evidence of an earlier event, around 550 million years ago, during a period …
