Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...
When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...
High energy proton collisions can be pictured as a roiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual particles. At first glance, this ...
Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...
