CERN remains committed to its policy of inclusion.
It's just the second new particle to be discovered at the atom smasher, which opened at the CERN physics laboratory in Geneva in 2008.
In the course of proton collisions in the LHC at CERN, physicists Claude Amsler, Vincenzo Chiochia and Ernest Aguiló from the University of Zurich’s Physics Institute managed to detect a baryon with one light and two heavy quarks ... The particle Xi_b^* comprises one ‘up’, one ‘strange’ and one ‘bottom’ quark (usb), is electrically neutral and has a spin of 3/2 (1.5). Its mass is comparable to that of a lithium atom.More quotes »
