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

In a major milestone for particle physics, scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have successfully observed top ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Professor Curtis Meyer and his research colleagues explore an uncharted world inside protons and ...

Using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a team of researchers recently tested whether top quarks also follow the special theory of relativity. The top quark is the heaviest known f ...

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 ...

ABSTRACT: We present a theoretical model for detecting axions from neutron stars in a QCD phase of quark matter. The axions would be produced from a quark-antiquark pair u u ¯ or d d ¯ , in loop(s) ...

These two properties of axions mean that they are exceptionally good at collapsing down to incredibly high densities, pulled ...
