How to make sense of recent CERN finding that challenges the Standard Model of particle physics
Last month, the European Organization for Nuclear Research from the that, if verified, would violate "lepton universality." Lepton universality is a principle that says three charged elementary particles — electrons, muons, and taus — can be treated identically, aside from their different masses. This result contradicts the , which is physicists' best description of the universe's fundamental building blocks. If this finding is confirmed, it would be evidence that leptons cannot be treated equal, but it would still fall short of an observation. The difference is statistical: the term...…Last month, the European Organization for Nuclear Research from the that, if verified, would violate "lepton universality."
