Located in Hamburg, Germany, this cutting-edge facility is home to the world’s largest and most powerful X-ray laser. Axion ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors (SNSPDs), originally designed for detecting photons, can also accurately detect high-energy protons. This unexpected finding ...

Researchers have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate particle detectors, and they have found the optimal nanowire size for high detection ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Professor Curtis Meyer and his research colleagues explore an uncharted world inside protons and ...

In a major milestone for particle physics, scientists at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have successfully observed top ...

Physicists know from previous experiments that what happens at the nuclear scale to protons and neutrons also affects their ...

In the higher energy picture, composite protons and neutrons (composed of quarks and gluons) interact through quantum chromodynamics (QCD). This residual interaction is the strong nuclear force.

Fermions, like quarks and leptons, make up matter, while bosons, such as photons and gluons, act as force carriers. These classifications have long been thought to be the limits of particle behavior.

Jets are created when a quark or gluon within a proton or neutron in one of RHIC’s ion beams collides intensely with a quark or gluon in the nuclear particles that make up the beam traveling in the ...
