Using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a team of researchers recently tested whether top quarks also follow the special ...

Because we haven't found anything yet, we've started to wonder if dark matter might be lighter or heavier than we thought.

In the first study of its kind at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the CMS collaboration has tested whether top quarks adhere ...

Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider tested whether top quarks, the most massive known elementary particles, comply with ...

Composite particles made up of quarks ... and so for our existence. The quark model was devised by physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig independently in the early 1960s (the name ...

We think of matter as being made up from three main particles – protons ... neutrons are both types of baryon mesons - Made up of a quark and antiquark pair There are six types of quarks.

They arise from the exchange of bosons. Bosons are the 'force carrying' or 'force-mediating' particles. If a fermion, such as a quark or lepton produces a boson, which is then taken in by another ...

With this tool, scientists smash together subatomic particles to help them better understand the tiny building blocks of the ...

Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton ... Instead of using calculations based on a geometric model to estimate the number of nuclear particles—protons and neutrons ...
