‘Zeptoverse’: CERN scientists uncover evidence of extraordinarily rare particle decay  Scientists at CERN have found evidence of an extraordinarily rare particle decay using the Large Hadron Collider. The process is predicted to occur just once in every 10 billion cases, offering researchers a new way to explore the subatomic world.

00:45So we're using this gigantic particle accelerator called the Large Hadron Collider.

00:48It's a 27-kilometer circumference ring, and what it does is accelerate particles called

00:53protons to almost a speed of light, and then it smashes them into each other.

00:57And in our experiment, inside our LHCB experiment, these protons collide, and they create these

01:02particles called beauty particles.

01:04So a beauty particle, they don't exist in the universe normally, but they're one of the

01:08fundamental building blocks that nature includes.

01:12And what we're doing is we're studying how these beauty particles decay.

01:16So beauty particles live for a fantastically short amount of time, about one and a half

01:20trillionths of a second, and then they transform into other, more stable particles.

01:24And what we've seen for the first time is evidence of one of the rarest of these processes.
