List of HEP measurements with largest discrepancies

Topic: Physics

 From HandWiki - Reading time: 3 min

Here is a list of experimental measurements in high-energy particle physics (HEP) with largest deviations from either the state-of-the art theory or some data-driven expectation. This list contains only measurements that include "evidence" for some new phenomena, which is defined as measurements with more than 3 "σ" (3 sigma or standard deviations) i.e. 0.3% probability of occurring by chance. The significance is defined as "local", i.e. it does not include look-elsewhere effect.

Intriguing deviations with significance >3 sigma can be signs of new physics. For example, top quarks were first hinted at in the 1994 paper by the CDF collaboration, observing an excess of events amounting to about 3-sigma, but the existence of the top quark was fully established later. However, in most cases, 3 sigma deviations can be due to statistical or some systematic effects that require clarifications by independent measurements.

  25. ↑ Comment: There are no model predictions. The "sigma" was estimated from the deviation of the deuteron/anti-deuteron ratio from 1 (listed in the paper). This discrepancy is assumed from the fact that there should be no baryon-antibaryon asymmetry in the central fragmentation region of ep, therefore, the ratio deuteron/anti-deuteron=1 is expected. This paper confirms the expected p/anti(p)=1, but this does not hold for deuterons.
