An unexpected connection has emerged between the results of physics experiments and an important, seemingly unrelated set of numbers in pure mathematics. At the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva, ...
In heavy ion collisions (HICs), while inclusive observations have been a common approach, three-body coincident measurements involving one light charged particle (LCP) and two fission fragments (FFs) ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In the fall of 2022, a Princeton University graduate student named Carolina Figueiredo stumbled onto a massive coincidence. She ...
How do physicists reconstruct what really happened in a particle collision? Through calculations that are so challenging that, in some cases, they simply can’t be done. Yet. It’s one thing to smash ...
