The facility has ambitious goals to produce over 10 trillion eta mesons annually, with production rates exceeding 100 million particles per second.

For the first time, physicists at CERN saw a "charm meson particle" switch between matter and antimatter.

Exotic-hybrid mesons are of particular interest to the research group because the gluons could potentially exist in an excited state.

Light and heavy New calculations reveal quark distributions in flavour-asymmetric mesons. (Courtesy: iStock Traffic-Analyzer) The distribution of quarks inside flavour-asymmetric mesons has been ...

Charmed physics: The LHCb detector has spotted CP violation in charm mesons for the first time. (Courtesy: CERN) Particle physicists at CERN have measured charge-parity (CP) violation in the D 0 meson ...

Quarks and antiquarks are the teeny, tiny building blocks with which all matter is built, binding together to form protons and neutrons in a process explained by quantum chromodynamics (QCD ...

If hybrid mesons, which are identical to ordinary mesons in composition but quite different in behavior, are discovered, it would help us expand our understanding of the strong nuclear force.

Mesons are subnuclear particles formed when cosmic rays from outer space hit the atmosphere. In mass, mesons are intermediate between electrons and protons.

Scientists study how Bc mesons form to gain more information from ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions Evidence for the formation of a quark-gluon plasma emerges from the recombination of ...

In Part 2, we present further evidence on the production of mesons, which allows us to show that many of the observed mesons are locally generated in the ‘explosive’ disintegration of nuclei ...
