Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

After the successful initiation of two new detectors, scientists have begun to envision an expanded suite of neutrino experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. CERN physicist Jamie Boyd enters a ...

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 ...
