The world’s largest atom smasher has conducted its first-ever collisions between protons and oxygen ions, as part of an ambitious campaign to include a series of historic firsts, among which ...

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 ...

Why do atomic nuclei, which should easily break apart, form more readily in extreme environments? This cosmic mystery, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

March 2, 2023 — Current technology does not allow all Large Hadron Collider (LHC) proton–proton collision data to be stored and analysed. It is therefore necessary to filter out the data according to ...

According to ScienceAlert, the biggest and most powerful particle collider in the world resumed its operation in April following a three-year hiatus for modifications in anticipation of its third test ...

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 ...

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 ...

Protons accelerated almost to the speed of light can collide similarly to billiard balls. However, since protons are quantum particles, from measuring such collisions we can learn unobvious things ...

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’ ...
