Scientists at CERN have discovered five new sub-atomic particles in a single analysis, with the help of the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator.
These particle states are named, according to the standard convention, Oc(3000)0, Oc(3050)0, Oc(3066)0, Oc(3090)0 and Oc(3119)0. The numbers indicate their masses in megaelectronvolts (MeV), as measured by LHCb.
This discovery will help in understanding how the three constituent quarks are bound inside a baryon and also to probing the correlation between quarks, which plays an important role in describing multi-quark states, such as tetraquarks and pentaquarks.World's oldest fossils found in India | 20-Mar-2017 10:27
