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

In a major milestone for particle physics, scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have successfully observed top ...

Entanglement -- linking distant particles or groups of particles so that one cannot be described without the other -- is at the core of the quantum revolution changing the face of modern technology.

The results provide a foundation for testing these predictions in nuclear physics experiments ... until more practical quantum computers come along. "If you produce a quark and antiquark back ...

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 ...

Quantum hadron physics is a branch of theoretical and experimental ... For instance, the Tcc+ tetraquark, which contains two charm quarks and a quark-antiquark pair, has been studied extensively.

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

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

The findings highlight the complexity of quark dynamics and their role in ... in addressing various aspects of hadronic physics. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD): A theory in particle physics that ...

The research is published in the journal Physics Letters B. Along with quantum mechanics ... experiment would mean that the rate at which top-quark pairs are produced in proton–proton collisions ...

a DOE Office of Science user facility for nuclear physics research that began operating at Brookhaven Lab in 2000. Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC ...

In quantum chromodynamics, the constituent quarks come in three “colors,” along with up and down “flavors.” Also shown are virtual quark-antiquark ... relate the physics of the specific ...
