It's exciting stuff. The reason the team has been pursuing this very specific kind of decay channel so relentlessly for more than a decade is because it's what is known as a "golden" channel, meaning not only is it incredibly rare, but also well predicted by the complex mathematics making up the Standard Model of physics.

That rarity and precision makes it a highly sensitive gauge for detecting new physics. Yet it was only by collecting an incredible amount of data covering countless particle collisions that the team could confirm their discovery as accurate according to the famous 'five sigma' standard of statistical certainty.

"This difficult analysis is the result of excellent teamwork, and I am extremely proud of this new result," Lazzeroni says.
