A substance called antimatter is at the heart of one of the greatest mysteries of the universe. We know that every particle has an antimatter companion that is virtually identical to itself but with the opposite charge. When a particle and its antiparticle meet, they annihilate each other — disappearing in a burst of light. ...
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centers for scientific research. Its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is nothing short of a marvel of technology. It is the most powerful particle accelerator on the planet and is deemed an asset in high-energy physics experimental research. It was ...
The LHCb experiment at CERN has presented a new discovery at the European Physical Society Conference on High Energy Physics (EPS-HEP). The new particle discovered by LHCb, labeled as Tcc+, is a tetraquark — an exotic hadron containing two quarks and two antiquarks. It is the longest-lived exotic matter particle ever discovered, and the first to contain two heavy ...
The LHCb experiment at CERN announced new results which, if confirmed, would suggest hints of a violation of the Standard Model of particle physics. The results focus on the potential violation of lepton flavor universality and were announced at the Moriond conference on electroweak interactions and unified theories, as well as at a seminar held online at CERN, the ...
ATLAS is a general-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland. It is being used to research subjects like dark matter and the Higgs Boson, and whether or not the existence of extra dimensions can be proven. Every person is aware of the three dimensions of our universe — length, width, ...
Dark matter is literally the most abundant matter in our universe. However, scientists are yet to detect it even after trying hard for the past few decades. Some blame the excessive focus on detecting Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMP) as a reason for this and are calling for new kinds of experiments on dark matter. ...
