A new particle detector has passed a crucial test, demonstrating it's ready to start investigating quark-gluon plasma, the ...

The top quark’s extreme mass makes it decay almost immediately after it is produced. “The top and antitop quarks just have ...

A new and powerful particle detector just passed a critical test in its goal to decipher the ingredients of the early ...

A decade in the making, this upgraded detector will explore the properties of the quark-gluon plasma that formed a millionth ...

Researchers from the University of Rochester have helped measure the elusive top quark with unparalleled precision, and the surprising results affect everything from the Higgs boson, nicknamed the ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is also a big hadron discoverer. The atom smasher near Geneva, Switzerland, is most famous for demonstrating the existence of the Higgs boson in 2012, a discovery that ...

The quark model was an intellectual revolution for physics. Physicists were faced with an ever-growing zoo of unstable particles that didn't seem to have a role in the Universe around us. Quarks ...

An unforeseen feature in proton-proton collisions previously observed by the CMS experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has now been confirmed by its sister experiment ATLAS. Subscribe to ...

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 ...
