TOTEM extends study of elastic scattering
A year after publishing first results on proton–proton elastic scattering at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC, the TOTEM collaboration now has new measurements based on the analysis of d...

ALICE takes a first look at diffraction
Diffractive processes represent more than 25% of the cross-section for inelastic proton–proton collisions at the LHC. So, it is only natural that the ALICE collaboration is interested in a field...

The atomic nucleus: fissile liquid or molecule of life?
The atomic nucleus is generally described as a drop of quantum liquid. In particular, such liquid-like behaviour explains nuclear fission and applies especially to heavy nuclei such as uranium.

Heavy-ion jets go with the flow
The studies of central heavy-ion collisions at the LHC by the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments show that partons traversing the produced hot and dense medium lose a significant fraction of their energ...
