#Strange new subatomic particles discovered at atom smasher Exotic subatomic particles made up of five quarks that physicists briefly thought they had discovered back in 2003 now finally appear to be in the bag.
The discovery has filled a big hole"in the theory that describes how matter is built up from the fundamental particles known as quarks,
and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei are composed themselves of three quarks and how other particles known as mesons are made from pairs of quarks and their antimatter counterparts, antiquarks.
However, Gell-Mann's scheme also pointed to the existence of pentaquarks, made up of four quarks and an antiquark.
The lack of any evidence for such particles over the past 50 years says Wilkinson,
which consists of a"charm quark and antiquarknd then totted up how many times they recorded each energy value across the thousands of collisions they studied.
The researchers concluded that that was the mass of a fleeting"charmonium"pentaquark containing two up quarks, one down quark, one charm quark,
and one anticharm quark. LHCB collected the data back in 2011 and 2012, but Wilkinson's team held back from announcing their discovery to avoid the fate of those who had made the earlier claims of pentaquark sightings.
"They appear to have found strong evidence for a'heavy quark'pentaquark state, "says Ken Hicks of Ohio University.
whether all five quarks are bound tightly together inside the new particle, or whether instead three quarks group together as they do inside protons
and neutrons and the other two form a separate meson bit like two atoms combining to form a molecule.
"Now that we know nature allows five quarks to be bound together, it would be very strange indeed
if just this set of quarks is allowed to coexist in this manner, "he says.""There should be many others.
Quarks are small elementary particles that make up such things as neutrons and protons. These quarks are bound together by strong nuclear force.'
'In particle physics, every force is mediated by a special kind of force particle, and the force particle of the strong nuclear force is said the gluon
'A meson is composed a subatomic particle of one quark and one antiquark.''For a long time, the former was considered to be the most promising candidate,
but when it decays, it produces many heavy quarks (the so-called'strange quarks').''To many particle scientists, this seemed implausible,
because gluon interactions do not usually differentiate between heavier and lighter quarks. But the latest study found that it is possible for glueballs to decay predominantly into strange quarks.
Surprisingly, the calculated decay pattern into two lighter particles agrees extremely well with the decay pattern measured for f0 (1710.
The researchers are also hoping ALICE will help them better understand how heavy quarks such as the charm
Protons and neutrons-the particles that make up everyday matter-are made of minuscule elementary particles called quarks,
and quarks are held together by even smaller particles called gluons. Also known as'sticky particles',massless gluons are described as a complicated version of the photon,
which are called subatomic particles mesons that are composed of one quark and one antiquark each. For a while, f0 (1500) was considered the more promising candidate of the two,
its decay process produced heavy quarks-also known as'strange quarks'.'This was a problem, because some scientists assumed that gluon interactions did not usually differentiate between heavier and lighter quarks-something that Rebhan
and his colleagues say theye reconciled in their calculations, published in Physical Review Letters today."
"Our calculations show that it is indeed possible for glueballs to decay predominantly into strange quarks,
explaining that when the decay pattern for lighter quarks was measured also for f0 (1710), the results agreed"extremely well"with their model.

#Watch: This self-balancing wheelchair can climb and descend stairs automatically Stairs and uneven ground surfaces pose a huge problem for wheelchair users,
and also for holding electrons in orbit around an atom's nucleus. The strong interaction is the force that binds quarks the subatomic particles that form protons within atoms together.
It is so strong that the binding energy of the proton gives a much larger contribution to the mass through Einstein's equation E=mc2 than the quarks themselves. 3 Due in part to the forces'relative simplicity scientists have previously been able to solve the equations behind gravity
because it is known the first that both contains a charm quark and has spin 3. There are six quarks known to physicists;
Up Down Strange Charm Beauty and Top. Protons and neutrons are composed of up and down quarks but particles produced in accelerators such as the LHC can contain the unstable heavier quarks.
In addition some of these particles have higher spin values than the naturally occurring stable particles.
Because the Ds3*(2860) particle contains a heavy charm quark it is easier for theorists to calculate its properties.
And because it has spin 3 there can be no ambiguity about what the particle is adds Professor Gershon.
in this sense higher spin corresponds to the quarks orbiting each other faster than those with a lower spin.
Notes 1 The Ds3*(2860) particle is a meson that contains a charm antiquark and a strange quark.
-and p+mesons contain respectively a bottom antiquark and a strange quark a charm antiquark and an up quark an up antiquark and a strange quark and a down antiquark and an up quark.
The distributions of the angles between the D0 K-and p+particles allow the spin of the Ds3*(2860) meson to be determined unambiguously. 3 Quarks are bound by the strong interaction into one of two types of particles:
baryons such as the proton are composed of three quarks; mesons are composed of one quark and one antiquark where an antiquark is the antimatter version of a quark.

The exotic pentaquarks they observed are made up of two up quarks, one down quark, one charm quark and one anti-charm quark.
Quarks are the building blocks that make up composite subatomic particles, and these particles are classified depending on how many quarks they're comprised of.
For example both protons and neutrons are made up of three quarks, and are classed as baryons. But this is the first time researchers have shown that a five-quark arrangement
