If one of these high-speed bits of matter struck an atomic particle, they calculated, its tremendous energy would accomplish what no man-made atom smasher can do: split that particle into its ...

The Large Hadron Collider yields a five-quark particle that includes a ‘strange’ quark, as predicted by theory.

Do top quarks, nature's heaviest elementary particle, obey Einstein's rules at all times of day and night? Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have the answer.

Physicists from the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) have been conducting research on the matter constituting the atomic nucleus, utilizing the world’s three most powerful particle ...

Researchers from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences have developed a new model incorporating quark-gluon interactions while accounting for nucleon pairing.

For the first time, particle physicists have observed the simultaneous production of a photon and a top quark. The milestone was achieved by the ATLAS collaboration, which operates a giant detector at ...

The top quark decays into a bottom quark and a W boson in the time it takes light to travel just 0.1 femtometer—a fraction of the size of the particle itself.

After their theoretical discovery, scientists around the world raced to find the top quark - small particles, imperceptible to a human's naked eye.

Signs of saturation emerge from particle collisions at RHIC Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions presented as evidence of multiple scatterings and gluon recombination in ...

Neutron stars in the universe, ultracold atomic gases in the laboratory, and the quark–gluon plasma created in collisions of atomic nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): they may seem ...

A New Particle Has Been Discovered – It Could Be The Elusive Glueball This is a particle made exclusively of strong nuclear force carriers.

Physics Physicists surprised to discover the proton contains a charm quark The textbook description of a proton says it contains three smaller particles - two up quarks and a down quark - but a ...
