Physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have discovered a new subatomic particle called the Ξcc⁺, a heavy cousin of the proton built from two charm quarks and one ...

The strong force binds quarks together to form hadrons. Until last Monday, only two types of hadron were known, but the LHCb experiment at CERN has just proved there is a third way While fundamental ...

The LHCb collaboration at CERN has reported the observation of a doubly charmed baryon, a heavy relative of the proton that physicists predicted for decades but struggled to establish experimentally.

The LHCb experiment at the Large Hadron Collider is adding a new particle to its family of exotic matter. In the last seven years, the LHCb experiment at CERN has detected about a dozen types of ...

For the first time, the LHCb collaboration at CERN has observed an exotic particle made up of four charm quarks. The LHCb collaboration has observed a type of four-quark particle that has never been ...

At the end of December 2023, the LHCb experiment released all its data from Run 1 of the Large Hadron Collider. This data, collected by the experiment in 2011 and 2012, contains approximately 800 ...

A new pentaquark – an exotic hadron comprising five quarks – has been discovered by physicists working on the LHCb experiment at CERN. LHCb scientists have also found that a feature in their data that ...

Two of the general purpose detectors at the LHC, ATLAS and CMS, tend to keep a high profile, as they’re designed to be able to spot anything that comes out of the collisions—the Higgs, dark matter, or ...

Event display of a typical Bs0 decay into two muons. The two muon tracks from the Bs0 decay are seen as a pair of green tracks traversing the whole detector. Image: LHCb collaboration The Standard ...

The best evidence yet for the existence of a new type of particle called a pentaquark has been unveiled by physicists working on the LHCb experiment on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.

A new review examines the three decades of the LHCb experiment, its achievements and future potential. A new review published in EPJ H by Clara Matteuzzi, Research Director at the National Institute ...
