Physicists have found a new way to use data from high-energy particle smashups to peer inside protons. Their approach uses quantum information science...
Top-quark pair production has been observed in lead-lead collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with the ATLAS detector, marking the first...
The proton is one of the main building blocks of all visible matter in the Universe. Among its intrinsic properties are its electric charge, mass and spin....
Neutron-star cores contain matter at the highest densities in our Universe. This highly compressed matter may undergo a phase transition where nuclear...
Physicists from the STAR Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, an atom smasher at Brookhaven National Laboratory, have tracked pairs of...
The novel method, developed by nuclear physicists at the STAR detector of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), relies on particles of light that...
Nuclear matter is a hypothetic substance consisting of interacting quarks and gluons in large enough numbers that the system can be considered infinite.
Left:...
In particle collider experiments, elementary particle interactions with large momentum transfer produce quarks and gluons (known as partons) whose evolution...
Quark-gluon plasma is a state of dense matter with the quarks and gluons being its constituents. Soon after the Big Bang the matter was just in such a...
Physicists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have developed a new technique that opens...
According to a new theory proposed by University of Edinburgh Professor Arjun Berera and colleagues, shortly after the Universe came into existence it...
A particle called meson f0(1710) is the elusive ‘glueball,’ an exotic particle composed of pure force, according to a team of physicists at the Technische...
