High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing...
The Standard Model of particle physics predicts an asymmetry between matter and antimatter known as charge-parity (CP) violation. But the size of this...
Three-body nuclear systems are key to many aspects of modern nuclear physics, such as understanding the equation of state of high-density nuclear matter...
Nuclear matter is a hypothetic substance consisting of interacting quarks and gluons in large enough numbers that the system can be considered infinite.

Physicists from the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced today the observation of a strange...
In particle collider experiments, elementary particle interactions with large momentum transfer produce quarks and gluons (known as partons) whose evolution...
Neutral pions (π0) have a lifetime of around 80 attoseconds, decaying into two photons. In new research, an international team of physicists has measured...
Physicists from the LHCb Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have observed four new exotic particles: Zcs(4000)+, Zcs(4220)+, X(4685),...
Physicists from the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII) Collaboration at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider in China have detected the first candidate for...
Physicists from the ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have developed a new technique that opens...
Physicists from CERN’s LHCb experiment announced today the observation of a pentaquark, a hadron consisting of five quarks.
Illustration of the possible...
Scientists from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider beauty collaboration have confirmed the unambiguous observation of the long-sought exotic hadron Z(4430),...
