He gained international prestige by studying interference in K-meson decays in experiments at CERN.
A brilliant cosmic-ray physicist, the first doctor of physics at Gauhati University and a founding vice-chancellor of Central Tezpur University.
A recognised international leader in laser technologies for radioactive ion-beam production.
No known particle is heavy enough to decay into two Higgs bosons. The resonant production of Higgs pairs would therefore be clear evidence for new physics.
A new analysis by LHCb of the open-charm hadrons in Λb decays was presented at the International Conference on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon
Giuseppe Fidecaro made significant contributions to CERN both inside and outside physics.
An iconic figure in modern science, Higgs in 1964 postulated the existence of the eponymous Higgs boson.
