"By measuring the rarest B meson decay so far, LHCb can access effects it couldn't previously see -that's exciting," says @berkeleylab's Zoltan Ligeti. "Observing increasingly rare decays opens a window to be sensitive to heavier & heaver new particles." newscientist.com/article/259…

"The ELI-NP study shows progress in developing filters that can isolate muon signals from unwanted background," says @BerkeleyLab's Davide Terzani. “This is like trying to photograph a partial solar eclipse without a filter on your camera.” @isabelledume physicsworld.com/a/laser-gen…

“IceCube grew out of ideas developed in the early 1960s,” says @berkeleylab's Spencer Klein -- who worked on IceCube alongside Francis Halzen starting in the 2000s. “It’s worked far better than we could ever have expected when we were getting started.” physicstoday.aip.org/news/fr…

“The holy grail of particle physics is to search and find things that disagree with the Standard Model,” says @BerkeleyLab's Aaron Manalaysay. “And dark matter is one of those, and that motivates everyone.”
