Scientists are exploring the critical point in the Quantum Chromodynamics phase diagram by using particle accelerators and ...

Michael Riordan has spent decades ruminating on the history of physics, including events he participated in himself.

The main signatures of this critical point that scientists can observe are related to changes in the number of particles produced in particle accelerator ... between the quark gluon plasma and ...

Physicists report the first observations of quantum entanglement in top and anti-top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental ...

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by gluons. It would seem ...

This is one of the rarest interactions in particle physics ever observed ... Charged kaons — the subject of the experiment — contain an up quark and an anti-strange quark.

The atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons, particles that exist through the interaction of quarks bonded by ...

Only by eliminating everything else can the physicists home in on the rare event they seek: kaons decaying into a pion (a particle made of an “up” quark and an “anti-down” quark), as well ...

"While particle physics is deeply rooted in quantum ... This means that to observe the entanglement of a top quark and an antiquark, scientists at the LHC's ATLAS and Compact Muon Solenoid ...

Conventionally, a meson comprises a quark and an antiquark and a baryon contains three quarks. Consequently, based on its properties, the scientific community classified the particle as a baryon, ...
