All four main LHC experiments have found new signs that oxygen and neon collisions may create the extreme state of matter ...

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 ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has confirmed the observation of an ultra-rare particle decay that has puzzled physicists for roughly two decades. The decay, in which a sigma-plus hyperon transforms ...

Event display of a typical Bs0 decay into two muons. The two muon tracks from the Bs0 decay are seen as a pair of green tracks traversing the whole detector. Image: LHCb collaboration The Standard ...

At the end of December 2023, the LHCb experiment released all its data from Run 1 of the Large Hadron Collider. This data, collected by the experiment in 2011 and 2012, contains approximately 800 ...

Matter and antimatter particles can behave differently, but where these differences show up (and where they don’t) is still a puzzle. About 90% of people are right-handed. This human preference for ...

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 ...

The strong force binds quarks together to form hadrons. Until last Monday, only two types of hadron were known, but the LHCb experiment at CERN has just proved there is a third way While fundamental ...
