The phenomenon of violation of invariance under CP, the combined action of charge conjugation C and parity P, which is related to the difference between properties of matter and antimatter, is one of the most fundamental problems in physics. CP…

  These asymmetric collisions were originally meant as a benchmark to control for background effects unrelated to the production of a quark-gluon plasma, expected in Pb-Pb collisions simply due to the use of Pb nuclei instead of protons in the…

There is widespread consensus among science education researchers that learning science should begin early in every child’s schooling. Among many good reasons, one stands out clearly: “Children naturally enjoy observing and thinking about nature”[1…

Recent results from the LHC shows that that the Standard Model works with a remarkable accuracy within the presently accessible energy range. However there is now overwhelming evidence for the existence of Dark Matter; a component of our Universe…
