Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment today announced the discovery of two new baryon particles, named Ξb’- and Ξb*-. LHCb result shows strong evidence of the existence of two new particles the Ξb’- (first peak) and Ξb*- (second peak), with the high-level confidence of 10 sigma. Image credit: LHCb experiment / CERN. Like the protons that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerates, the new particles...
