CERN Physicists Find First Evidence for Production of Top Quarks in Nucleus-Nucleus Collisions

Nov 16, 2020 by News Staff

New results from the CMS Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider demonstrate for the first time that top quarks are produced in nucleus-nucleus...

A candidate event display for the production of a Higgs boson decaying to two bottom quarks (blue cones), in association with a W boson decaying to a muon (red) and a neutrino. The neutrino leaves the detector unseen, and is reconstructed through the missing transverse energy (dashed line). Image credit: ATLAS Collaboration / CERN.
