Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider kicked off its final year of operations this week, marking a ...

On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and ...

In a remarkable leap forward for science, researchers at CERN have successfully created and observed top quarks—one of nature ...

The feat was made possible thanks to a powerful yet very complicated particle accelerator. According to research featured in a video by Scientific American, the universe began as a quark soup ...

The team has used RHIC to smash the nuclei of gold atoms at near-light speed since 2000, collecting data to recreate and study quark-gluon plasma (QGP or quark soup). This hot, de ...

University of Glasgow physicists working on the ATLAS experiment at CERN have led a precise new measurement of the mass of the top quark, using high-transverse-momentum ('boosted') top quarks.

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 ...

Wojciech Brylinski was analyzing data from the NA61/SHINE collaboration at CERN for his thesis when he noticed an unexpected ...

In a new development at CERN, researchers at the LHCb collaboration have determined the spin-parity of singly heavy charm ...

Through the weak nuclear force, one quark flavor can transmute into another. However, current data and theory indicate that ...

The 12th edition of the International Conference on Hard and Electromagnetic Probes attracted over 300 physicists to Nagasaki ...
