The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is adding a new particle to its family of exotic matter. In the last seven years, the LHCb experiment at CERN has detected about a dozen types of ...

Baryons, composite particles made up of three quarks bound together via the so-called strong force, make up the most visible matter and have thus been the focus of numerous physics studies. Studying ...

A new result from the LHCb experiment could be an early indicator of an inconsistency in the Standard Model. The subatomic universe is an intricate mosaic of particles and forces. The Standard Model ...

The best evidence yet for the existence of a new type of particle called a pentaquark has been unveiled by physicists working on the LHCb experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

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 ...

Two of the general purpose detectors at the LHC, ATLAS and CMS, tend to keep a high profile, as they're designed to be able to spot anything that comes out of the collisions—the Higgs, dark matter, or ...

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 collaboration at CERN* today submitted a paper [http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.6173] to Physical Review Letters on the first observation of matter-antimatter ...

Physicists are part of a team that has announced 'intriguing' results that potentially cannot be explained by our current laws of nature. Imperial physicists are part of a team that has announced ...
