Physicists Zoom In On Gluons Contribution To Proton Spin
Science Related News
By analyzing the highest-energy proton collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle collider at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, nuclear physicists have gotten a glimpse of how a multitude of gluons that individually carry very little of the protons? overall momentum contribute to the protons? spin.

Physicist offers leading theory about mysterious Large Hadron Collider excess
In December of last year, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe announced startling results hinting at the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle -- one with a mass six times heavier than the Higgs boson, the particle that made headlines in 2012. The evidence is still thin, but if more data confirm the finding, it could sharpen humankind's understanding of the building blocks of the universe. Ref. Source 3x.
Researchers solve the problem of the dimensions of space-time in theories relating to the Large Hadron Collider
Researchers propose an approach to the experimental data generated by the Large Hadron Collider that solves the infinity problem without breaching the four dimensions of space-time. Ref. Source 6w.
Surprising result shocks scientists studying spin. Scientists analyzing results of spinning protons striking different sized atomic nuclei at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) found an odd directional preference in the production of neutrons that switches sides as the size of the nuclei increases. The results offer new insight into the mechanisms affecting particle production in these collisions. Source 2v.
