Large Hadron Collider experiment reveals three exotic particles
Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider have announced the observation of three never-before-seen particles as the accelerator kicks off its third run.Quarks are elementary particles. There are"up","down","charm","strange","top", and"bottom." Combinations of quarks form hadrons, usually in groups of two or three.
The LHCb experiment looks at the differences between matter and antimatter and uses a series of sub-detectors to look for forward particles – those thrown forwards by a collision.for another run at data collection. The LHC was first fired up in 2010 and this latest activity is expected to last for almost four years at a record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts .
The four big LHC experiments have been updated to cope with the results of the upgrade. The aforementioned LHCb experiment underwent a complete revamp to increase its data-taking rate by a factor of ten. ALICE , which is designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities,"is aiming at a staggering fifty-fold increase in the number of recorded collisions," according to CERN.
