LHCb

The LHCb experiment is on the LHC ring and specialises in investigating the slight differences between matter and antimatter by studying a type of particle called the “beauty quark” or “b quark”.

127 results

LHCb observes two new baryon particles

The particles, known as the Xi_b'- and Xi_b*-, were predicted to exist by the quark model but had never been seen before
