On 5 July 2022, protons began colliding again in the LHCb detector after a three-and-a-half-year break known as Long Shutdown 2 (LS2), marking the start of the third run of the Large Hadron Collider ...

The observation of elusive, exotic particles is the key objective of countless studies, as it could open new avenues for research, while also improving present knowledge of the matter contained in the ...

Cracow, 23 November 2023 - High-energy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are capable of producing a quark-gluon plasma. But are heavy atomic nuclei really necessary for its formation? And ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN has revealed a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of particles called baryons. “The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down ...

At the end of December 2023, the LHCb experiment released all its data from Run 1 of the Large Hadron Collider. This data, collected by the experiment in 2011 and 2012, contains approximately 800 ...

In the ongoing quest to unravel the universe's deepest mysteries, scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear ...

Researchers at CERN have announced a new particle that is like a slightly heavier version of the proton. This new particle, reported by the LHCb experiment, has two charm quarks and one down quark, ...

As upgrades enable the LHC to produce more and more particle collisions, physicists are using machine learning to keep up with the growing task of sorting through everything. In 2010, Mike Williams ...

Physicists have announced the discovery of a new type of pentaquark 1. Most ordinary matter is made up of three-quark particles —protons and neutrons. The five-particle pentaquarks and their ...
