LHC Scientists Find Three Exotic Particles — and Start Hunting for More

Physicists say they’ve found evidence in data from Europe’s Large Hadron Collider for three never-before-seen combinations of quarks, just as the world’s largest particle-smasher is beginning a new round of high-energy experiments. The three exotic types of particles — which include two four-quark combinations, known as tetraquarks, plus a five-quark unit called a pentaquark — … Continue reading LHC Scientists Find Three Exotic Particles — and Start Hunting for More
