Elastic collisions in one dimension are a clear example of physics in action, where both momentum and kinetic energy remain unchanged. With the right formulas, you can predict exactly how objects will ...

Collision physics is a research area within atomic, molecular, and optical physics that investigates the fundamental processes occurring when particles such as atoms, ions, electrons, or molecules ...

An international team of physicists has studied how particles are produced in high-energy electron–proton collisions through the lens of entanglement entropy Entanglement entropy has emerged as a new ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...

Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary particles. Researchers expected this transition to change how disordered the ...
