The physics lab that’s home to the world’s largest atom smasher announced on Tuesday the observation of three new "exotic particles" that could provide clues about the force that binds subatomic particles together.
Most exotic hadrons, which are subatomic particles, are made up of two or three elemental particles known as quarks. The strong force is one of four forces known in the universe, along with the "weak force" — which applies to the decay of particles — as well as the electromagnetic force and gravity. Members of the media receive explanations nexto to the Compact Muon Solenoid detector assembly in a tunnel of the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research , during maintenance works on February 6, 2020The so-called "Run 3" of collisions, ending a three-year pause for maintenance and other checks, is operating at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts, which will offer the prospect of new discoveries in particle physics.
