Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

Once a surprise to physicists, these particles are useful tools inside and outside the realm of particle physics.

ALICE collaboration identifies three-phase process that allows particles to form despite energetically unfavourable ...

Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

The ALICE collaboration has performed one of the most precise studies of strange-to-non-strange hadron production to date at ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

The Large Hadron Collider will be shut down, paving the way for a major upgrade, and perhaps its eventual, even bigger ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...
