ISOLDE mints chromium for structure studies

CERN’s radioactive ion-beam facility ISOLDE has stamped a new coin in its impressive collection. Long considered the domain of high-energy, in-flight rare-isotope facilities, chromium has now been p...

CMS resolves inner structure of bottomonium

Bottomonium mesons play a special role in our understanding of hadron formation because the large quark mass allows important simplifications in the relevant theoretical calculations.

Charmed baryons strike back

Last year, the LHCb collaboration announced the first observation of the Ξcc++ baryon, a doubly charmed particle (CERN Courier July/August 2017 p8). It was identified via the decay Ξcc++ → Λc...
