One of the classic signals expected for a quark–gluon plasma (QGP) is the radiation of "thermal photons", with a spectrum reflecting the temperature of the system.
The top quark is the heaviest point-like particle known. It weighs about as much as an atom of tungsten yet is an elementary building block of the Standard Model of particle physics.
Researchers at the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-based Science have obtained the most unambiguous data to date on element 113.
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...
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 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.
