Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Physicists from the ALICE detector team have been colliding lead nuclei together at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in an attempt to recreate the conditions in the first few microseconds after the ...

United Kingdom scientists working on the Large Hadron Collider’s (LHC) ALICE experiment at CERN are celebrating the LHC’s latest achievement, which opens up an entirely new avenue of exploration. The ...

In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and other new nuclei. As a small child, physicist Chiara Oppedisano read the ...

ALICE experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where KU nuclear physicists helped detect gold, briefly, during ultra-peripheral collisions. LAWRENCE — Nuclear physicists working at the Large Hadron ...

The ALICE experiment team at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has announced that they have successfully measured the conversion of lead to gold ...

For approximately one month a year, the nuclei of lead atoms traveling near the speed of light will collide in the Large Hadron Collider's (LHC) ALICE experiment, generating a fireball about 100,000 ...

The LHC has been smashing lead ions since Sunday, Nov. 7, 2010, and physicists from the ALICE, ATLAS and CMS experiments are working around the clock to analyze the aftermath of these heavy-ion ...
