Short excerpt below. Click through to read at the original source.
A new subatomic particle known as the Ξcc⁺ has been discovered at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. This heavy proton-like particle contains two charm quarks and was detected using the upgraded LHCb experiment. Scientists observed it through its decay into lighter particles in high-energy collisions. The finding confirms predictions and settles a decades-long question about its […]
