An exotic version of an atomic nucleus is doing double duty. A study of the hypertriton simultaneously confirms a basic symmetry of nature and potentially reveals new insights into what lurks inside ...

A research team led by Prof. Yong Gaochan from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel experimental method to probe the hyperon potential, ...

First measurements of how hypernuclei flow from particle collisions may give insight into the strange matter makeup and properties of neutron stars. This research offers fresh insights into ...

Researchers from the High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan and their international collaborators have made a discovery that bridges ...

Calculating the binding energy between hyperon particles contributes to understanding a new type of neutron star. In 2009, physicists from Japan’s KEK high-energy proton accelerator announced the ...

Researchers on the ALICE experiment are uncovering the properties of elusive hyperon particles hypothesized to be found inside neutron stars. Scientists know a thing or two about neutron stars, the ...

Researchers from the High Energy Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the RIKEN Pioneering Research Institute (PRI) in Japan and their international collaborators have achieved a groundbreaking discovery ...

In a paper in Nature, the ALICE Collaboration 1 reports that data from high-energy collisions between protons can be used to investigate the little-understood nuclear forces between protons and ...
