Even in those few truth-pursuing fields that pride themselves on being about ideas and the mind -- notions of absent-minded professors notwithstanding -- it helps to be practical. Luck doesn't hurt, ...

The LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider has reported the observation of Xicc++ -- a new particle containing two charm quarks and one up quark. The existence of this particle from the ...

UPTON, NY-New supercomputing calculations provide the first evidence that particles predicted by the theory of quark-gluon interactions but never before observed are being produced in heavy-ion ...

Molecular pentaquark Artist’s impression of how five quarks could bind together to form an exotic hadron. Such particles have been spotted at CERN, Fermilab and SLAC. (Image: Daniel Dominguez/CERN) ...

image: Baryons are particles made of three quarks. The quark model predicts the baryon combinations that exist with either spin J=1/2 (this graphic) or spin J=3/2 (not shown). The graphic shows the ...

Doubly heavy baryons represent a unique class of particles in quantum chromodynamics, composed of two heavy quarks alongside a lighter quark. Their study offers deep insights into the interplay ...
