At first collider got pretty particle
April 23, 2010 – 10:56 pm
physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider, unable to register the first beautiful particle – meson B +. It is stated in a press release on the site of the experiment LHCb.
B + gets its name from the fact that consists of a u-quark and b-quark, or antiquark, beautiful, said tape. pv. To register one such particle, which was born as a result of the collision of high energy protons in the accelerator, scientists had analyzed nearly 10 million such collisions.
At present, the Large Hadron Collider is gradually gaining momentum . For example, most recently at the accelerator was set a record – the collision energy beams was 3.48 teraelectronvolt.
Large Hadron Collider is the world’s largest particle accelerators. The length of his ring is 27 kilometers. With the accelerator scientists plan to answer many fundamental questions of elementary particle physics.
