Large Hadron Collider At CERN Not Create Blackhole Or Portal But Found Pentaquarks The Cosmos News
, thecosmosnews Update:LHCb discovers three new exotic particles The collaboration has observed a new kind of pentaquark and the firstever pair of tetraquarksThe international LHCb collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has observed three neverbeforeseen particles: a new kind of pentaquark and the firstever pair of tetraquarks, which includes a new type of tetraquark. The findings, presented today at a CERN seminar, add three new exotic members to the growing list of new hadrons found at the LHC. They will help physicists better understand how quarks bind together into these composite particles. Quarks are elementary particles and come in six flavours: up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom. They usually combine together in groups of twos and threes to form hadrons such as the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei. More rarely, however, they can also combine into fourquark and fivequark particles, or tetraquarks and pentaquarks. These exotic hadrons were predic
