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

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 ...

The formation and experimental detection of such a state (called the quark-gluon plasma or QGP) is the primary objective of high-energy nuclear physics. Dennis Perepelitsa: I study the properties of ...

Compared with the top–antitop process, the production of a single top has a smaller cross-section, and the presence of only one heavy top quark in the events makes this process much more ...

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

Through QCD we can describe the proton as a superposition of quark-gluon states that can include states of different sizes ... Probing Nuclear Structure and Testing the Standard Model of Particle ...

And why that's James Joyce. Surely, you've heard of quarks. In theoretical physics, the term quark denotes an elementary particle – a fundamental component of matter. The name itself was first used ...

Feynman's Caltech rival and colleague Murray Gell-Mann had yet to propose the quark model of particle physics, and scanning probe microscopes and carbon nanotubes were still decades away.

This opens a new research frontier for using the astrophysics of neutron stars to learn about the physics of quark matter. More information: Aleksi Kurkela et al, Astrophysical Equation-of-State ...

The emission of beta radiation provides evidence that neutrons and protons are made up of quarks. Beta (\(\beta^-\)) decay is the release of an electron by the change of a neutron to a proton.

a DOE Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research that began operating at Brookhaven Lab in 2000. Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC ...
