Season 1
Episode 35
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
Scientists at CERN have identified a new subatomic particle, the Ξcc+, a heavier relative of the proton. Detected by the LHCb, this particle—made of two charm quarks and one down quark—confirms decades-old predictions about matter’s structure.
In this episode, we explore how the discovery validates particle physics models and highlights the power of the Large Hadron Collider.
