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 ...

An elusive particle that first formed in the hot, dense maelstrom of the early universe has puzzled physicists for decades.

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

He was 81. In 1973, Maskawa, a professor emeritus at Kyoto University and Kyoto Sangyo University, published a theory on quarks, elementary particles that are the fundamental constituents of ...
