CERN researchers discovered a rare particle decay event challenging the Standard Model.

CERN researchers have identified an exceptionally rare particle decay event, occurring once in 10 billion times, which could challenge the Standard Model of particle physics. This decay, involving a kaon transforming into a pion and a neutrino-antineutrino pair, suggests the potential existence of new physics. The NA62 collaboration is gathering more data to further investigate this phenomenon and its implications for understanding fundamental particles and their interactions.
