Scientists have used computational algebraic geometry to study predictions for particle physics experiments, such as those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which first detected the Higgs particle ...
Quark coalescer: the LHCb experiment being upgraded several years ago. (Courtesy: Maximilien Brice/CERN) Physicists working on the LHCb experiment have seen evidence that “quark coalescence” plays a ...
A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. COLLISIONS! A big part of physics is understanding collisions and how they're not all the same. Mass, momentum, and ...
Heavy collisions Artist’s impression charged particle tracks streaming from a collision of two uranium nuclei overlaid on a sketch of the STAR detector at RHIC. The incoming uranium nuclei are shown ...
Inside each proton or neutron there are three quarks bound by gluons. Until now, it has often been assumed that two of them form a "stable" pair known as a diquark. It seems, however, that it's the ...
