Large Hadron Collider Discovers All-New Particle
In particle physics, atoms are the building blocks of matter in the universe, each consisting of a nucleus, protons, neutrons, and electrons. Scientists have increasingly peered even further into these building blocks, examining the peculiar world of particles that are even smaller than individual atoms. According to the quark model, multiple subatomic particles called quarks can form hadrons held together by strong nuclear forces. Each of these…
The discovery will help physicists better understand the strong force, one of the four fundamental forces.
The discovery came after the modernization of the LHCb detector and allowed confirmation of a particle that had been elusive for years. The detection strengthens the ability to continue producing weight results more than a decade after the Higgs boson. Read more
The catalogue of subatomic particles is still growing, and the new arrival is a heavyweight that has just jostled some deep-rooted certainties.
Physicists have just identified an unprecedented subatomic particle at the heart of the world's largest particle accelerator.
