Scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider recently announced that the LHC detected a rare particle decay which is pretty impossible to detect otherwise. Called the B meson, it is pretty less famous than Higgs Boson particle, but since it was detected with the help of none other than the LHC, it could play a very important role in the Standard Model of particle physics, said reports.

The Standard Model governs the particle physics as it allows scientists to classify the sub atomic particles and also make predictions about the processes and particles which are yet to be discovered, states Gizmodo. The discovery and existence of the Higgs boson is the biggest living example of the success rate of the Standard Model and its predictions.

The category of the current particle falls into the sub atomic particle Mesons, and according to the Standard model, these strange mesons should be decaying at a rate of four times the rate of decay of the non-strange mesons. This rate is equivalent to one in 10 billion.

The CMS and LHCB teams also detected the decaying of these strange B mesons particles for the first time; it was never seen before in any other particle accelerator, states The Science Reporter. The rate of their decay was as per the predications of the Standard Model. But since only few particles were detected, nothing more can be said about the nature of these rare particles.

Scientists know it since a long time that the Standard Model is not entirely a fool proof model; it is known for its shortcomings and lack of explaining things about the anti matter, dark energy and the dark matter. But it is still evaluated to be one of the most precise models.
