New data from particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), an "atom smasher" at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, reveals how the primordial ...

A new analysis supports the idea that photons colliding with heavy ions create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. The results indicate that photon-heavy ion collisions can create a strongly ...

GlueX The spectrometer at Jefferson Lab was used to study the behaviour of gluons within nuclei. (Courtesy: Jefferson Lab/Aileen Devlin) A new experiment has offered the clearest view yet of how ...

The Large Hadron Collider may soon uncover the secrets of dark photons. Should we be scared? (Spoiler: no). Back in the summer of 2022, TikTok lost its mind over news that the Large Hadron Collider — ...

In a landmark result, the CMS collaboration reports the first observation of tau lepton pair production via photon-photon fusion in proton collisions, opening new avenues for studying these elusive ...

Scientists working on CERN’s Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment have published the latest data in their search for a long-lived exotic particle known as the dark photon. Dark photons (also called ...

A new analysis supports the idea that particles of light (photons) colliding with heavy ions create a fluid of “strongly interacting” particles. The calculations are based on the hydrodynamic particle ...
