Exploring the gluon saturation in a large nucleus is one of the goals of the future Electron-Ion Collider. Researchers proposed a nucleon energy-energy correlation approach that provides a unique ...

UPTON, NY— A new publication by the PHENIX Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides definitive evidence that gluon “spins” are aligned in the same direction as the spin of ...

Physicists have found evidence of X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, based near Geneva, ...

Scientists seeking to explore the teeming microcosm of quarks and gluons inside protons and neutrons report new data delivered by particles of light. The light particles, or photons, come directly ...

Inside the most powerful particle colliders on Earth, protons slam together at nearly the speed of light, shredding matter into a short‑lived fireball of quarks and gluons. For years, physicists ...

Research in fundamental science has revealed the existence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP)—a newly identified state of matter—as the constituent of the early universe. Known to have existed a microsecond ...

Scientists working with theLarge Hadron Collider (LHC) have taken a giant leap forward in understanding the conditions that existed in the universe just moments after the Big Bang. Through an ...

Scientists have discovered a common thread between the monstrous black holes that lurk at the hearts of galaxies and subatomic glass condensates created in collisions of atomic nuclei. When you ...
