ATLAS Experiment searches for new symmetries of nature
Atlas Experiment
Figure 1: ATLAS event display of the electron channel event with the highest transverse mass found in the 13 TeV data in the search for the W’ boson. The particular symmetry related to the forces acting among particles is called gauge symmetry. The resulting gauge bosons that carry the forces are: the massless photon for electromagnetism, the massless gluons for the strong interaction, and the massive W and Z bosons for the weak interaction. If nature has symmetries beyond those we currently know of, we could observe additional force carrying particles.
