The current theory of strong interactions (quantum chromodynamics QCD ... The formation and experimental detection of such a state (called the quark-gluon plasma or QGP) is the primary objective of ...

LZU researchers also contributed to the discovery of the doubly charmed baryons, formed by two charm quarks and one light quark, a key breakthrough in particle and nuclear physics. A quantum leap ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

We know that the laws of physics, as we currently understand them, are incomplete. Studying the way the top quark behaves may show us the way to something new. Probably not. Quantum physics says ...

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

And why that's James Joyce. Surely, you've heard of quarks. In theoretical physics, the term quark denotes an elementary particle – a fundamental component of matter. The name itself was first used ...

"With evidence that quarks and gluons are entangled, this picture has changed. We have a much more complicated, dynamic system." ...

Similar to quark confinement in particle physics, confinement is a phenomenon that can occur in closed quantum systems under ...

This opens a new research frontier for using the astrophysics of neutron stars to learn about the physics of quark matter. More information: Aleksi Kurkela et al, Astrophysical Equation-of-State ...
