A
new and exotic atomic particle -- one that doesn't mesh with
traditional particle physics models -- has been discovered by
researchers at Syracuse University.
The discovery was made as part of the Large Hadron Collider beauty Collaboration, a multinational research project aimed at finding and studying new quantum forces and particles. Led by researchers from Syracuse, the project is headquartered at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland, the biggest particle physics laboratory in the world.
In a new paper, scientists working on the LHCb team claim to have discovered a brand new type of particle.
"We've confirmed the unambiguous observation of a very exotic state -- something that looks like a particle composed of two quarks and two anti-quarks," explained Tomasz Skwarnicki, one of the paper's lead authors and a specialist in experimental high-energy physics. "The discovery certainly doesn't fit the traditional quark model. It may give us a new way of looking at strong-interaction physics."
