Particle physicists are delving deep into the Standard Model of particle physics to better understand quark mixing, which is not accurately predicted by the model. The quarks that form the nuclei of ...
In the past, this approach resulted in the prediction of the charm quark, and a heavy top quark, well before colliders could produce these particles directly. The observation of CP violation led to ...
Getting a grip on quark mixing - IoP - University of AmsterdamThe quarks that make up the nuclei of all atoms around us are known to “mix”: the different types of quark occasionally change into one ...
This fireball of particles—known as quark–gluon plasma and believed to have filled the universe in the first few millionths of a second after the Big Bang—expands and cools down rapidly.
