Large Hadron Collider Discovers Beautiful New Particle

Alex Knapp, Forbes Staff   April 30, 2012

“Researchers at the Large Hadron Collider submitted a paper toPhysical Review Letters claiming that they’d discovered a new Baryon particle. This is the Xi_b^*0 – which is composed of three quarks: astrange quark, a beauty quark, and either an up or down quark. ………..”

Faster-than-light neutrinos? Why nobody is surprised it might be an error.

Last year, European particle physicists observed neutrinos apparently traveling faster than the speed of light. But now it seems that it was a bad measurement, which is no surprise to the physics community. ……..

‘They’ll find the God particle by summer.’ And Peter Higgs should know

Renowned physicist Professor Peter Higgs gives a rare interview to Jenny Fyall as he receives the Edinburgh Award

Professor Peter Higgs told The Scotsman he thought scientists at Cern working with the Large Hadron Collider would find evidence that the elusive particle exists within a matter of months.

The acclaimed 82-year-old theoretical physicist came up with the now famous theory in 1964 which provides an explanation for the origins of mass as a property of matter.

LHC reports discovery of its first new particle (BBC Report. Dec. 22, 2011)

LHC-CMS

It is called Chi_b (3P) and will help scientists understand better the forces that hold matter together. ………

The Chi_b (3P) is a more excited state of Chi particles already seen in previous collision experiments, explained Prof Roger Jones, who works on the Atlas detector at the LHC.

“The new particle is made up of a ‘beauty quark’ and a ‘beauty anti-quark’, which are then bound together,”
