Here's what happens when quark-gluon plasma 'splashes' during the most energetic particle collisions
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 ...
Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.
Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...
The new CMS study examined collisions between oxygen nuclei, which are much smaller than lead nuclei. Oxygen contains just 16 ...
An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

World’s first AI-native particle collider will process 500,000 collisions per second
Five hundred thousand times per second, the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will record a collision.
Suppression of a telltale sign of quark-gluon interactions indicates gluon recombination in dense walls of gluons. Previous experiments have shown that when ions are accelerated to high energies, ...
Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...
UPTON, NY—Nuclear physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science user facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National ...
Nuclear physicists studying particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have new evidence that particles called gluons reach a steady 'saturated' state inside the speeding ions.
