Immediately after the Big Bang boomed, the Universe was a trillion-degree ' soup ' of unimaginably dense plasma. In a ...

Probing the evolution of magnetic fields generated in heavy-ion collisions can offer key insights into fundamental physical phenomena, including the nature of the early universe. In heavy-ion ...

Scientists have published a comprehensive analysis aimed at determining which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles from heavy ion collisions. The results will help the ...

Scientists analyzing data from heavy ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—the world's most powerful particle collider, located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research—have ...

The CMS collaboration compared high-transverse-momentum particle yields in oxygen–oxygen, neon–neon, xenon–xenon and ...

Nuclear physicists conducting research at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) traded shift time for presentations on the latest successes and plans for the future at the 2019 RHIC & AGS ...

Scientists ran a comprehensive analysis of data from collisions of heavy ions (the nuclei of atoms) to determine which factors most influence fluctuations in the flow of particles. They found that the ...

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) represents a striking manifestation of quantum anomalies in strong interaction systems, whereby a chirality imbalance in the quark–gluon plasma is converted into an ...

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 ...
