Two new Baryons at LHC.
Two new Baryons at LHC. Two new Baryons at LHCb. LHCb, the famed experiment at CERN, Switzerland found a year ago two new Baryons. These are important steps in testing the validity of our state of the art understanding of current model of the Physical Universe, mostly in considering the “particle constituents” of the matter…
