Most top quarks are produced in top–antitop pairs by the strong force. The production rate for this process is substantial (it has a cross-section of about 7 picobarns) and the presence of two ...
Ever wondered about the nature of the universe and the role of quarks? Now, you can find out what links the word for the most elementary particle in the universe with the name of an ancient Slavic ...
By studying the behavior of top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles, produced at the LHC, the researchers have predicted that "magic top quarks" will be made very often. Interestingly ...
Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic ...
CBC’s Quirks & Quarks is an award-winning radio science program. The program is heard by a national audience in Canada of nearly 800,000 people, and by thousands more around the world on our ...
Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...
Inside the proton, quarks and gluons shift and morph their properties in ways that physicists are still struggling to understand. Rithya Kunnawalkam Elayavalli brings to the problem a perspective ...
