Amid the chaotic chains of events that ensue when protons smash together at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe, one particle has popped up that appears to go to pieces in a peculiar way. All eyes are ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy ...

Einstein proposed his special theory of relativity 120 years ago, and despite numerous attempts to challenge it, the theory still remains intact and valid. It is a simple but powerful concept that ...

Protons and neutrons, which together with electrons form atoms, are made up of even smaller particles called quarks. Protons and neutrons contain three quarks each. Scientists at the LHCb experiment ...

QGP is conventionally described using relativistic hydrodynamic models and studied experimentally through heavy-ion collisions. There has been a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment ...

Observational first: physicists have used the ATLAS experiment at CERN to observe the production of top-quark and photon pairs. (Courtesy: CERN) For the first time, particle physicists have observed ...

A research team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has successfully measured the temperature of quark-gluon plasma ...

Researchers at the CERN Large Hadron Collider have discovered a doubly charming new particle, which has long been theorized to exist. Named Ξ cc ++ (Xi cc ++) (and no, we don't know how to pronounce ...

University of Chicago scientists have solved a 20-year-old puzzle in particle physics using data from an experiment conducted for an entirely different purpose. Physicists had long known that ...

One of the most important observations in particle physics was the discovery in 1964 of the Omega-minus baryon at Brookhaven National Laboratory. In the two decades leading up to this point over 27 ...
