In a new development at CERN, researchers at the LHCb collaboration have determined the spin-parity of singly heavy charm baryons for the first time, addressing a long-standing mystery in baryon ...

Doubly heavy baryon: A baryon composed of two heavy (charm or bottom) quarks and one light quark, whose properties provide a testing ground for quantum chromodynamics.

However, all quarks also have an intrinsic angular momentum or “spin” that is equal to 1/2, and this means that baryons can also exist in excited states. A proton, for instance, contains two up quarks ...

Colliding protons: a collision captured by LHCb. (Courtesy: LHCb/CERN) The most precise measurement of the lifetime of the Ω c 0 particle has been made by physicists working on the LHCb experiment at ...

The spin ½ SU(3) baryon family has 8 members, so-called baryon octet. Study on hyperons provides extra information to probe the mystery of baryons. About 10 years ago, ...

There’s a newfound mismatch between matter and antimatter. And that could bring physicists one step closer to understanding how everything in the universe came to be. For the most part ...

And yet the Omega-minus baryon (composed of three strange quarks) was discovered in 1964. The solution to this puzzle, proposed by Oscar Greenberg in 1964, is that the quarks each carry a "color ...
