Scientists discovered two new subatomic particles. (AFP) – Perú21

The European Organization for Nuclear Research ( CERN ) has again revolutionized science by observing two new subatomic particles composed of quarks, never seen before .

This is baryons composed of three quarks together by the strong nuclear force, but the quarks are different from those of protons. They are known as Xi_b’- and Xi_b. * – And these particles are more than six times the proton mass

The largest portion of this is due in part to its spin (intrinsic torque) in opposite directions, which is a “worthy of enthusiasm” result said Steven Blusk, of Syracuse University in New York.

This was discovered by experiment LHC b the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) CERN , the huge cylinder 27 miles long located in the basement of Geneva, announced Wednesday the agency said in a statement.

The quarks are a type of elementary particle, components other subatomic particles like the proton and neutron, and do not exist in isolation.

Scientists released protons in opposite directions in said cylinder very close to the speed Light to analyze the results of the shocks that may allow to detect other particles.

Teams of thousands of scientists from the CERN also used the accelerator to discover the Higgs boson, which explains why some elementary particles acquire mass. The discovery meant the Nobel Prize for Scottish physicist Peter Higgs.
