CERN's ALICE experiment has resolved the puzzle of deuteron formation, showing that most deuterons form via resonance-driven ...

Central Exclusive Production (CEP) in proton‑proton collisions is a distinctive process whereby a new state is produced centrally, leaving both protons largely intact and separated by rapidity gaps ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy collisions in the LHC accelerator, it has been possible to observe their ...

Join me as I explore CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), located 100m beneath Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

During a deeply inelastic collision with a proton, a relativistic electron (highlighted in blue) can emit a high-energy photon (purple here) that penetrates interior of the proton, where it ‘sees’ ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) gets a breath of fresh air as it collides beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time. Oxygen–oxygen and neon–neon collisions are also on the menu of the ...

Physicists have recently detected a rare type of particle resulting from proton collisions within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a remarkable feat achieved between 2016 and 2018. According to ...

The study of ionisation dynamics in proton impact collisions addresses the fundamental processes by which proton beams interact with matter to remove electrons from atomic or molecular systems. This ...
