Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

CERN, the world’s largest atom smasher, says it has observed three new "exotic particles" while carrying out its third run of collisions. After a three-year pause for maintenance and routine checks, ...
