Scientists have used CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to uncover what they say is an entirely new type of particle, dubbed ...

Physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered a new subatomic particle called the ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have identified a previously unseen charmed baryon, a heavy subatomic particle belonging to the Xi family that had never been recorded in the ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is also a big hadron discoverer. The atom smasher near Geneva, Switzerland, is most famous for demonstrating the existence of the Higgs boson in 2012, a discovery that ...

Observational first: physicists have used the ATLAS experiment at CERN to observe the production of top-quark and photon pairs. (Courtesy: CERN) For the first time, particle physicists have observed ...

QGP is conventionally described using relativistic hydrodynamic models and studied experimentally through heavy-ion collisions. There has been a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment ...

Event display of the excess of top-quark pairs. Credit: CMS collaboration/CERN The CMS collaboration at CERN has observed an unexpected feature in data produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), ...

The CMS and ATLAS experiments at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have observed an unforeseen feature in the behaviour of top quarks that suggests that these heaviest of all elementary particles form a ...

Quark nugget dark matter models propose that dark matter may consist of macroscopic objects formed from bound collections of quarks in a stable configuration. These models, which include variants such ...

CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is designed to probe the fringes of known physics, and now the facility has found particles not behaving as predicted. While it’s still early days, the discovery ...

Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma.

Trillions of times smaller than a grain of sand and smaller than an atomic proton or neutron, quarks are among the smallest particles in the universe. They are essentially building blocks for ...
