Predicting the properties of subatomic particles using large scale computer simulations

(Tata Institute of Fundamental Research) Predicting the properties of subatomic particles before their experimental discovery has been a big challenge for physicists. Now, scientists from the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research have predicted the quantum numbers of five Ω_c^0 baryons which have recently been discovered by an experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. These results will help in understanding the nature of strong interactions in the Universe.
