Physics World  August 14, 2019 The quantum electrodynamic process of photon–photon scattering has for the first time been confirmed experimentally to a high degree of certainty. CERN’s ATLAS collaboration, which involves hundreds of physicists from around the world, made the breakthrough after analysing a large dataset of candidate scattering events using a neural network. Their discovery could fuel new research into a variety of theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The discoveries of the ATLAS collaboration could inform future studies aiming to confirm and constrain these theories, potentially allowing much-anticipated updates to the Standard Model…read more.
