Exotic hadron particles detected at CERN: Bizarre matter defies known physics
#1
The science page on the forum tonight.... cbelt, your sister in on the this?

"We've confirmed the unambiguous observation of a very exotic state — something that looks like a particle composed of two quarks and two antiquarks,"

Now, the LHCb team has studied data from more than 25,000 meson decay events selected from data from 180 trillion proton-proton collisions in the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator. They analyzed the data using both the Belle and BaBar teams' methods, and confirmed the particle was both real and an exotic hadron.

He just saw the opportunity and lepton it.

I must admit, I, too, misread the headline. Got a chuckle when I realized my error.
