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 ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

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

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 ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...

The CMS collaboration at CERN have searched for evidence of long-lived particles beyond the Standard Model in proton-proton collision events Despite the huge success of the Standard Model of particle ...

The US physics community dreams of building a muon collider. In the spring of 2022, Karri DiPetrillo was gearing up for the final step of the Snowmass particle physics community planning process. It ...

FRANKFURT. For the moment, the accelerators at CERN are at rest during the "second long shutdown". During this time, the accelerators undergo upgrades and refurbishments so that more particles can be ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though ...
