The most direct probe of λ3 comes from Higgs-boson pair production (HH). HH production happens most often by the fusion of ...

Inside the Large Hadron Collider, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, creating a brief fireball of quarks and ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter ...

High energy proton collisions can be pictured as a roiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual particles. At first glance, this ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

For a fraction of a second after the big bang occurred 13.8 billion years ago, most physicists believe, the newborn universe dramatically ballooned in size, jumping from being smaller than a proton to ...

Our account of the strong nuclear force is full of imaginative terms. Six flavors of quarks have color charges of red, green and blue, which dictate how they bind to form particles like protons and ...

After a decade of construction, the new-and-improved super Pioneering High Energy Nuclear Interaction eXperiment (sPHENIX) is officially ready for science as it passes a key “standard candle” ...
