CERN's New Particle Discovery! 🚀
Recently, the LHCb collaboration at CERN's Large Hadron Collider announced the discovery of three new exotic particles: a novel type of pentaquark and the first pair of tetraquarks with unique characteristics. These findings expand the known range of exotic hadrons and offer new insights into the strong force that binds quarks together.
Quarks, the building blocks of matter, typically form protons and neutrons by grouping in twos and threes. However, these new discoveries highlight their ability to combine into less common configurations, such as tetraquarks (four quarks) and pentaquarks (five quarks). The newly discovered pentaquark includes a charm quark, a charm antiquark, and a combination of up, down, and strange quarks. It is the first pentaquark to feature a strange quark, discovered with high statistical significance.
Additionally, the two tetraquarks include novel combinations involving charm quarks, strange antiquarks, and lighter quarks, showcasing new dynamics of quark interactions. These discoveries help refine theoretical models and deepen our understanding of quantum chromodynamics, the theory governing strong interactions.
