A view inside the SNO detector when filled with water. In the background, there are 9,000 photomultiplier tubes that detect photons and the acrylic vessel…
The CERN accelerator complex has restarted for the 2023 data-taking season after a 17-week maintenance and upgrade period. These improvements will enhance data taking and…
Imperial physicists have performed the double-slit experiment in time, using materials that can change optical properties in femtoseconds, providing insights into the nature of light…
The FASER collaboration has made its first observation of neutrinos produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) during its measurement campaign, with statistical significance exceeding…
This illustration represents a dark matter particle. Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory attempted to observe these elusive particles using their neutrino detectors in Neutrino…
The proton mass radius is smaller than the electric charge radius (a dense core), while a cloud of scalar gluon activity extends beyond the charge…
Physicists at the University of California, Irvine have made a scientific breakthrough by detecting neutrinos created by a particle collider, which will deepen our understanding…
Scientists used the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to track how upsilon particles dissociate in quark-gluon plasma. These upsilons are made…
Physicists observed a microparticle curving around a cylindrical obstacle and sticking to its backside, rather than colliding into it or sailing around it. Researchers discovered…
Quark-gluon plasma is conventionally described using relativistic hydrodynamic models and studied experimentally through heavy-ion collisions. There has been a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment…
Researchers have successfully synthesized an exotic, but very short-lived, Lambda resonance known as Λ(1405) for the first time. Scientists at Osaka University were part of…
MINERvA, an international collaboration of scientists, led by the University of Rochester, has made history by using neutrinos to study the structure of protons. This…
A team of researchers has now proposed a new candidate for dark matter: HYPER, or “HighlY Interactive ParticlE Relics.” Phase transition in early universe changes…
Isospin mixing is a concept in nuclear physics that refers to the symmetry in atomic nuclei induced by the nearly identical properties between protons and…
Nuclear physicists have discovered a revolutionary way to use the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory to…
New data show that local fluctuations in the nuclear strong force may influence the spin orientation of particles called phi mesons (made of two quarks…
