Nuclear physics theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have demonstrated that complex calculations run on supercomputers can accurately predict the ...

any deviation from the Standard Model predictions could give physicists a hint of new physics. The decay of the B 0 meson, which is made up of a bottom quark and a down quark, into a K* 0 meson ...

New 2024 American Physical Society Fellow Jozef Dudek is pursuing theoretical descriptions of exotic hadrons, a yet-untallied ...

While an MIT grad student and postdoc in the 1970s, Riordan worked with the team that discovered the quark, one of the fundamental entities in the Standard Model of particle physics. He wrote about ...

Scientists at Brookhaven National Laboratory have used supercomputer simulations to predict electric charge distributions in ...

The quark model was devised by physicists Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig independently in the early 1960s (the name “quark” was a nonsense word from James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake that Gell ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking model that merges traditional nuclear physics, focusing on protons and neutrons, ...

This year, the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility celebrates the 40th anniversary of ...

It may therefore seem surprising that, despite the passage of many decades, no one has been able to reproduce with quark-gluon models ... "In our model, we made improvements to simulate the ...

This changed in 1963 when American physicist Murray Gell-Mann proposed his quark theory. Gell-Mann believed that each proton and each neutron is made up of three even smaller particles—particles ...

The name itself was first used around 1963 by Murray Gell-Mann, one of the two physicists who posited the quark model. Gell-Mann later recollected that he had come across the word in one of his ...

Physical Review D, Vol. 109, Issue. 1, The Lund model, inspired by quantum chromodynamics, has provided a promising approach to the dynamics of quark and gluon interactions. Starting with a brief ...
