Large Hadron Collider , Discovers 3 New , Kinds of Particles.<br />'Vice' reports that the Large Hadron Collider <br />"beauty experiment" is meant to investigate <br />the nature of the reality we inhabit. .<br />The "beauty experiment," otherwise known <br />as LHCb, focuses on the search for <br />subatomic particles known as quarks.<br />Quarks can be divided into several varieties: up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom and antiquark.<br />According to an announcement by CERN,<br />scientists working on the project have <br />discovered three never-seen-before particles. .<br />The latest discovery includes <br />a new pentaquark and the <br />first-ever pair of tetraquarks. .<br />The first new particle, a pentaquark, <br />was discovered in the decay of a B meson.<br />According to 'Vice,' the second and third <br />particles discovered were a "doubly electrically <br />charged tetraquark" and its neutral pair.<br />We’re witnessing a period of discovery <br />similar to the 1950s, when a ‘particle zoo’ <br />of hadrons started being discovered <br />and ultimately led to the quark model <br />of conventional hadrons in the 1960s. <br />We’re creating ‘particle zoo 2.0.’, Niels Tuning, LHCb physics coordinator, via 'Vice'.<br />Scientists involved with the project say <br />the discovery is another step toward <br />understanding the mysterious universe we exist within.<br />Finding new kinds of tetraquarks<br />and pentaquarks and measuring their <br />properties will help theorists develop <br />a unified model of exotic hadrons, <br />the exact nature of which is largely unknown, Chris Parkes, LHCb spokesperson, via 'Vice'.<br />Finding new kinds of tetraquarks<br />and pentaquarks and measuring their <br />properties will help theorists develop <br />a unified model of exotic hadrons, <br />the exact nature of which is largely unknown, Chris Parkes, LHCb spokesperson, via 'Vice'
