A combination of supercomputing and traditional techniques allowed Jefferson Lab theorists to better describe the unstable sigma meson particle, contributing to our comprehension of the strong ...

Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The ...

Do kaons decay using a new kind of physics? Researchers are trying to explain their anomalous findings. Their larger experiment is an ongoing investigation of CP symmetry. The anomalies could be ...

Deep inside every atom lies a restless world of quarks and gluons—the tiny building ...

When you receive a present on your birthday, you might be the kind of person who tears off the wrapping paper immediately to see what's inside the box. Or maybe you like to examine the box, guessing ...

current theory that attempts to describe matter. Their research will be published in Physical Review Letters (in press). "It could mean some of the standard and accepted theories on matter will need ...

Scientists have proposed a new kind of subatomic particle to explain another particle’s mysterious disintegration. The kaon, a special case of meson particle, is made of one quark and one antiquark.

Scientists working on CERN’s ALICE experiment have reported the first observation of a distinctive flow pattern among quarks ...
