At the LHC, charmed twins will soon be more common than singles

(The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences) In the range of energies penetrated by the LHC accelerator, a new mechanism of the creation of particles is becoming more prominent, say scientists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Krakow. The comparison between theoretical predictions and test data leaves no doubt: the energy in collisions is now so great that some of the elementary particles, mesons containing charm qu...
