CERN's New Physics Breakthrough: Kaon Decay Unveiled
CERN researchers just nailed down one of the rarest particle decays ever seen, a charged kaon decaying into a charged pion and a neutrino-antineutrino pair. It’s like spotting a needle in a cosmic haystack! This super-rare event is a big deal for physicists because it fits the Standard Model of physics, but also acts as a sensitive gauge for uncovering new, undiscovered physics. Think of it as a precision tool to find out if our universe has any more surprises up its sleeve.
