ALICE experiment announces first results from LHC’s lead-ion collisions

In the first measurement, scientists counted the charged particles that were produced from a few thousand of the most central lead-ion collisions—those where the lead nuclei hit each other head-on. The result showed that about 18,000 particles are produced from collisions of lead ions, which is about 2.2 times more particles than produced in similar collisions of gold ions at Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider.

With the LHC’s lead-ion collisions taking place at more than 13 times the energy of RHIC’s gold-ion collisions, predicting a big increase in the number of particles produced would seem to be a no-brainer. Surprisingly, however, the opposite was true. The majority of theories predicted a number lower than that measured by ALICE, because of a strange property of the world of quarks and gluons, the fundamental particles that make up a lead nucleus.

Must Read – A Costly Quest for the Dark Heart of the Cosmos

The experiment, if it succeeds, could help NASA take a giant step toward answering the question of what the universe is made of. It could also confer scientific glory on both the International Space Station and a celebrated physicist reaching one last time, literally, for the stars. If it fails, it will validate critics who think it a scandal the experiment was ever approved.

Antimatter atoms have been trapped for the first time ?!

Researchers at Cern, home of the Large Hadron Collider, have held 38 antihydrogen atoms in place, each for a fraction of a second.

Antihydrogen has been produced before but it was instantly destroyed when it encountered normal matter.

The team, reporting in Nature, says the ability to study such antimatter atoms will allow previously impossible tests of fundamental tenets of physics.

The current "standard model" of physics holds that each particle – protons, electrons, neutrons and a zoo of more exotic particles – has its mirror image antiparticle.
