  1. Still my favourite quote, particle physics is long term physics!

    Elisabetta Manca: "I started this research as a summer student, and now I’m in my third year as a postdoc. It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”

  2. Doch keine Abweichung? Physiker am Teilchenbeschleuniger LHC haben die Masse des W-Bosons neu bestimmt – des Trägerteilchens der schwachen Kernkraft. Mit überraschendem Resultat. #WBoson #LHC #CERN #Physik #Teilchenphysik

  4. #ICYMI: The @CMSexperiment at CERN has achieved the most precise measurement of the W boson mass to date. This result aligns with the Standard Model’s predictions, resolving a long-standing mystery.

  6. Aaand... the press release just came out. This is the first #WBoson mass measurement that has just come out. The press release just came out; this is the first #WBoson mass measurement by @CMSexperiment that just came out. It is competitive to the precise e+e- measurements from LEP, and the most precise measurement from LHC. Also, it agrees with LEP/ATLAS/LHCb, not with CDF.

  7. But of course the real question is if the @CMSexperiment #Wboson mass results are consistent with (which) previous measurements as the CDF. Here's the plot. The #standardmodel wins again, sadly. But the discussion on whether that measurement is real is now done I personally think.

  8. To get from the Z boson to the #Wboson is not so trivial though, and this is where close collaboration with the parton-density-function and precision quantum chromodynamics community is really important. Without close collaboration, this result would not be possible 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

  9. One final check of the @CMSexperiment measurement of the #WBoson mass is to do exactly the same measurement at the Z boson. And we confirm that we can measure the Z boson very precisely (to 4.7 Megaelectronvolt). this is a check but would be one of the world's precise measurements of the Z boson, but it's set up as a cross check meaning that is not so simple (but good to know we can do it)

  10. And yes, the @CMSexperiment #WBoson mass measurement is even sensitive to tiny inhomogeneities of the magnetic field of the CMS solenoid. So super-precise new tracking algorithms and new simulations of the silicon tracker detectors had to be designed especially for this measurement 🤓 #CERN

  11. The @CMSexperiment #WBoson mass measurement is rather innovative. it uses the largest dataset ever used for such a measurement and we carefully planned to have a super-understood dataset, need cutting-edge theory models and we use more control checks (including on the J/ψ peak, not just the Z) to really have a lot of extra information to control our uncertainties.

  16. ATLAS researchers have been working for over a decade to measure the mass of the #Wboson with better and better precision.

    In their newest result, the team revisited a 2017 measurement, reanalysing a sample of W bosons produced in 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the #LHC.

  18. The @ATLASexperiment at @CERN has just released its most precise measurement of the #Wboson mass.

    This is a fundamental parameter of Nature – and ATLAS’ measurement is in line with the Standard Model of particle physics. Here’s what that means ⤵️
