- A mysterious “X” particle comprising four quarks and first seen in 2003, has been found in the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
- The observation was made by physicists working on CERN’s Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment.
- Further studies of the particle could help explain how familiar hadrons such as protons and neutrons formed from the quark-gluon plasma believed to have been present in the early universe.
