Understanding the physics of heavy quarks gives physicists a unique opportunity to test the predictions of quantum chromodynamics and the Standard Model. This introductory text begins with a review of ...
Hybrid model A new description of nuclei combines the quark–gluon model of particle physics with the proton–neutron description of nuclear physics. In this artist’s impression, quarks are illustrated ...
In high-energy physics, researchers have unveiled how high-energy partons lose energy in nucleus-nucleus collisions, an essential process in studying quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This finding could ...
