Exotic pentaquark particle found at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider

Researchers at the CERN particle physics laboratory’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland have found a brand new kind of particle known as an odd pentaquark. Finding unique particles like this might assist us work out how hadrons – subatomic particles reminiscent of protons and neutrons which are made up of quarks – are held collectively.

Pentaquarks, true to their title, are made up of 4 quarks and one antiquark, and they don’t seem to be anticipated to type anyplace in nature, making them terribly uncommon. “Usually standard hadrons are made up …
