In this event display from the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, proton-proton collisions at the interaction point (far left) result in a shower of leptons and other charged particles.

A team of CERN physicists has found leptons being treated in strange ways not predicted by the Standard Model. The discovery could prove to be a significant lead in the search for non-standard phenomena.
The team, which includes physicists from University of Maryland, analyzed data collected by the LHCb detector during the first run of the LHC in 2011-12...
