Physicists in this field explore the nature of the strong force by studying ... Above this temperature, matter is in a new phase of matter, called the quark-gluon plasma. The properties of this ...

For instance, these observations can contribute to advances in strong field physics ... can turn matter into a state known as quark-gluon plasma. This plasma is created when very hot and dense ...

By colliding lead ions, CERN’s LHC creates a fleeting state of matter called the quark–gluon plasma. This is an extremely hot and dense soup of subatomic particles that includes deconfined quarks and ...

Understanding why we live in a matter-dominated universe demands that scientists recreate the quark-gluon plasma that existed one millionth of a second after the Big Bang. A Large Ion Collider ...

As if atoms weren’t already mind-blowingly small, never mind subatomic particles, CERN researchers in the CMS Collaboration were sifting through data from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ...

the "messenger" of the Higgs Field responsible for giving other particles their mass at the dawn of time. The collisions that ...

Quarks come out of extremely energetic collisions between protons when a gluon from one proton interacts with a gluon from another. They are already the heaviest known elementary particles (the ...
