First observed in the 1960s among a class of particles called mesons, which are made ... called the beauty-lambda baryon Λb, which is composed of an up quark, a down quark and a beauty quark.

The LHCb experiment at CERN has uncovered a fundamental asymmetry in the behavior of baryons. During the Moriond Conference in Italy, the LHCb collaboration at CERN announced that a new ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) have proposed a key indicator ...

At least one quark in a beauty baryon must be a beauty quark, but the other two can be many other things. Beauty baryons also ...

The team analysed data from 2009 to 2018 for a certain decay of these baryons into a proton and three mesons — light, unstable particles comprising two quarks. The evidence for a difference in ...

What's more, this violation has previously been only detected in particles made up of quark-antiquark pairs, called mesons. It has not been observed in baryons — three-quark particles ...

Scientists have proposed a key indicator that may reveal the emergence of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) by analyzing particle ...

“The reason why it took longer to observe CP violation in baryons than in mesons is down to the size of the effect and the available data,” explains LHCb spokesperson Vincenzo Vagnoni. “We needed a ...
