1 in 10 billion: CERN’s breakthrough kaon decay discovery sparks new physics

SMRTR summary

CERN researchers observed an extremely rare kaon decay event, occurring in about 13 out of 100 billion kaons. This rate is 50% higher than expected by the Standard Model, potentially hinting at new physics beyond current understanding of particle interactions. More data is needed to confirm or exclude this possibility.
