Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

Using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a team of researchers recently tested whether top quarks also follow the special ...

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere ...

The Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) collaboration has observed a type of four-quark particle never seen before. The discovery, presented at a recent seminar at CERN and described in a paper ...

Quark: A fundamental particle and a basic constituent of matter, which combines to form protons and neutrons. Gluon: A fundamental particle that acts as the exchange particle for the strong force ...

Before the quark and antiquark destroy each other, they may form a very brief, intermediate particle. Particle physicists think that this intermediary particle may be the rho meson, a particle ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

This is possible because just as a RHIC collision can kick an energetic quark or gluon free, that interaction can also produce a high energy photon, or particle of light. These direct photons are ...
