VU scientists Gerhard Raven, Mara Senghi Soares, Wouter Hulsbergen and their PhD candidates win the 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics.
The 2025 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics was awarded to the members of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider collaborations: LHCb, ALICE, ATLAS and CMS, “For detailed measurements of Higgs boson properties confirming the symmetry-breaking mechanism of mass generation, the discovery of new strongly interacting particles, the study of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry, and the exploration of nature at the shortest distances and most extreme conditions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.”
The VU scientists winning the prize play a special role leading studies of rare processes and matter-antimatter asymmetry within the LHCb experiment.
