New Particle Data Review compiles latest measurements of the Higgs and other particles
The updated report gathers thousands of recent results and summarizes measured properties and search limits for particles ranging from Higgs to dark-matter candidates.
Editorial illustration — not from the study.
The International Journal of Modern Physics A publishes an updated Review that summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. It builds on earlier editions and adds 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, reporting and averaging measured properties of gauge bosons and the Higgs boson, along with leptons, quarks, and hadrons such as mesons and baryons.
The review also describes searches for hypothetical particles—such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, and dark photons—and lays out particle properties and search limits in summary tables. It is organized into two volumes: one with summary tables and review articles, and another with particle listings plus reviews focused on specific aspects of the data.
Compiled particle measurements
The Review summarizes and evaluates measured properties of gauge bosons and the Higgs boson, as well as leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons, using data from previous editions plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers. It also compiles and summarizes searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, and dark photons, with particle properties and search limits provided in Summary Tables. The full Review contains 118 reviews that are updated, many heavily revised, and is split into two volumes: Volume 1 with Summary Tables and 96 review articles, and Volume 2 with Particle Listings plus 22 focused reviews.
A shared reference for results
By collecting and averaging many measured particle properties and by listing search limits for proposed new particles, the Review provides a consolidated reference for how experimental results currently fit together across Higgs and other particle measurements. Its updated summary tables and extensive review articles reflect the latest evidence used by the community to interpret results and plan future tests.
Review of published evidence
This work is a structured review that compiles and evaluates published measurements and search results, including new inputs (3,200 measurements from 903 papers), rather than presenting a new experiment or new data. Because it is an aggregation of reported studies, its conclusions depend on what was measured and how results were reported in the underlying papers; the abstract does not describe methods for handling conflicting measurements or quantify remaining uncertainties beyond noting that properties and search limits are listed in summary tables.

Researchers report a lensless microscope that imaged an entire 500-micrometer-thick, optically cleared mouse-brain slice without labels. The system combines a large field of view with millimeter-scale depth and approximately 2.4-micrometer pixel-level resolution, reaching a three-dimensional imaging volume above a gigavoxel scale in tests.
Researchers report a bright, narrow beam of muonium made by extracting it from a thin layer of superfluid helium. The beam is expected to enable a new test of gravity and more precise measurements of the muon.
Researchers have combined two organic light-emitting materials in a redesigned device that produces narrowband emission with little change in color as the viewing angle shifts. The devices reached external quantum efficiencies above 20% in both bottom- and top-emitting designs, more than twice the performance previously reported for similar polariton devices.
