A proton looks so simple, made of three quarks held together by gluons. However, ...

Theorists have calculated how quickly a melted soup of quarks and gluons -- the building blocks of protons and neutrons -- transfers its momentum to heavy quarks. The calculation will help explain ...

New results from the STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) suggest that gluons, the glue-like particles that hold quarks together inside protons, play a central role in the ...

Physicists have struggled for seven decades with the question of why there is more matter in the universe than antimatter.

The standard model of physics is one of the most successful scientific theories in existence, but do we need it all?

For over a decade, the CMS Collaboration, a large team of researchers based at different institutes worldwide, has been analyzing data collected at the Compact Muon Solenoid, a general-purpose ...
