    2024 Heavy-ion collisions

    2024 Heavy-ion collisions CERN News:  On 6 November 2024 at 11.13 am, a new heavy-ion run began at the LHC, smashing together lead ions, containing 208 nucleons (82 protons and 126 neutrons), at an energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair. The lead-ion collisions ended at 6 AM on 25 November. End of Run party:

    Strange correlations benchmark hadronisation

    Strange correlations benchmark hadronisation Sep/Oct 2024 In high-energy hadronic and heavy-ion collisions, strange quarks are dominantly produced from gluon fusion. In contrast to u and d quarks, they are not present in the colliding particles. Since strangeness is a conserved quantity in QCD, the net number of strange and anti-strange particles must equal zero, making
