Scientists from CERN have measured the speed of sound in the quark-gluon plasmas with record precision, a key step to ...

The most famous of these two-quark particles are kaons and pions. Though there have been hints of them in the past, no one has ever definitely discovered a particle with more than three quarks.

Instead of bosons, what came up was a signal from a type of fermion—a particle whose spin has only odd half-integer values such as 1/2 or 3/2. The particular fermion they found is a top quark ...

A new type of particle may have shown up independently at two particle accelerators, physicists say. The particle, made of four quarks (the ingredients of protons and neutrons), appears to ...

To detect an X particle, make some quark-gluon plasma. By Rahul Rao. Published Jan 28, 2022 4:00 PM EST. The X particle was detected at CERN's underground LHC facility. Maximilien Brice.

John Peoples was asked in the mid-1990s about the value of doing pure scientific research — that which has no predetermined benefit. “Knowledge is a form of wealth,” he replied. “It is an ...

The new particle mass will allow scientists to test the mathematics of quantum connections among the top quark, the Higgs particle the particle detected by the LHC in 2012, which explains how ...

Researchers at CERN have discovered a doubly charming new particle, which has long been theorized to exist. Named Ξcc++(Xicc++), the particle is the first found to contain two heavy quarks, and ...

Karliner says that there are 50 possible 2-quark hadrons, all but one of which have been observed, and 75 possible quark triplets (and as many triplets of antiquarks), of which nearly 50 have been ...

Protons can contain a charm quark, an elementary particle 1.5 times heavier than the proton itself. Skip to main content. Open menu Close menu. Space. Search. Search Space. Sign in.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have detected a new kind of particle that may provide new insights into the "glue" of nature. New heavy particle could help explain what holds you together ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment conducted at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scientists have attempted to discover if the universe's heaviest ...
