Quarks, the elementary units of matter found in every atomic nucleus, are surprisingly comfortable in large crowds. Two particles discovered at the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, near Geneva are each ...
Duke University theoreticians said their predictions helped guide the efforts of experimenters using Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) atom smasher to create an ...
