BBC is reporting the discovery of a new particle at LHC:
“The Chi-b (3P) is a more excited state of Chi particles already seen in previous collision experiments, explained Prof Roger Jones, who works on the Atlas detector at the LHC.
“The new particle is made up of a ‘beauty quark’ and a ‘beauty anti-quark’, which are then bound together,” he told BBC News.
“People have thought this more excited state should exist for years but nobody has managed to see it until now.”
Physics: the search for ‘Truth’ and ‘Beauty’!
