Heaviest known elementary particles and their antimatter counterparts are detected after nuclear smash-ups at the Large ...

A pair of top quarks has been detected in the detritus spraying forth from the collision of two atoms of lead.

Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider kicked off its final year of operations this week, marking a ...

But if the collisions do form a QGP, the kicked-free quark or gluon, despite its energy, gets caught up in interactions with the quarks and gluons that make up the plasma. "Those interactions lead ...

Advances recognized by science’s most lucrative awards include Large Hadron Collider experiments and groundbreaking ...

Researchers from the US have marked the collider's 25th and final year by smashing together gold nuclei traveling near the speed of light.

The formation and experimental detection of such a state (called the quark-gluon plasma or QGP) is the primary objective of high-energy nuclear physics. Dennis Perepelitsa: I study the properties of ...

As such, the plasma-like fluid that helped create our universe, the quark soup that they have recreated here, is more formally called quark-gluon plasma. And it hasn’t been found in nature since ...

The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, entered its 25th and final ...
