Event display of a typical Bs0 decay into two muons. The two muon tracks from the Bs0 decay are seen as a pair of green tracks traversing the whole detector. Image: LHCb collaboration The Standard ...
No pairs: the first ‘open flavour’ tetraquark has been spotted at CERN (Courtesy: Shutterstock/paul_june) The first tetraquark composed of four quarks of ...
What happened at the beginning of the universe, in the very first moments? The truth is, we don’t really know because it takes huge amounts of energy and precision to recreate and understand the ...
Physicists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have uncovered new hints that certain particle decays may not behave as the ...
For the first time, the LHCb collaboration at CERN has observed an exotic particle made up of four charm quarks. The LHCb collaboration has observed a type of four-quark particle that has never been ...
A new pentaquark – an exotic hadron comprising five quarks – has been discovered by physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN. LHCb scientists have also found that a feature in their data that ...
Particle physics has cataloged a new building block in the zoo of subatomic matter: At the Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak conference, the LHCb collaboration at CERN announced the discovery of the Ξ ...
