The Japan Lattice QCD Collaboration has used numerical simulations to reproduce spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (SCSB) in quantum chromodynamics (QCD).
Read article 'Theory ties strings round jet suppression'
The properties of quark–gluon plasma (QGP), where the quarks and gluons are no longer confined within hadrons, lead to intriguing effects that have already been studied in heavy-ion collisions at CE...
Read article 'FAIR builds future for ion and antiproton research'
Construction should begin later this year on the new Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research in Darmstadt, and the first experiments could start up in 2012.
Read article 'US looks to new rare-isotope science facility'
A new heavy-ion linear accelerator based in the US would provide the opportunity to tackle directly the current challenges arising from investigations of nuclear science.
Read article 'Zurich workshop faces the LHC’s precision challenge'
With Switzerland's reputation for exactitude, Zurich was the ideal place for scientists to discuss high precision for hard processes at LHC in this last year's workshop.
Read article 'String theory meets heavy ions in Shanghai'
The latest experimental results from the heavy-ion programmes at RHIC and CERN's SPS were the focus of attention at QM2006 in Shanghai. For the first time there were discussions about attempts to conn...
Read article 'CDF collaboration finds new baryons that contain b quarks'
Researchers at the Tevatron at Fermilab have found two new heavy particles and two of their excited states.
Read article 'Cracow meeting looks forward to the LHC'
As preparations for the start-up of the LHC continue to gather pace, a meeting in Cracow gave physicists the opportunity to take time to look to the exciting physics in store.
Read article 'Exotic atoms cast light on fundamental questions'
A workshop in Trento explored how experiments on exotic atoms, deeply bound kaonic states and antihydrogen provide a low-energy route to addressing fundamental physics.
