Flavor Symmetry Anomaly Detected in High-Energy Nuclear Collisions

Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 12, 2025 An international team of physicists working on the NA61/SHINE experiment has discovered a striking violation of a fundamental quark-level symmetry known as flavor symmetry during high-energy nuclear collisions. This unexpected observation, made in collisions of argon and scandium atomic nuclei, challenges long-held assumptions about the behavior of quarks under extreme conditions and may hint at
