Large Hadron Collider detects elusive ‘odderon’ quasiparticle 50 YEARS after it was first predicted

Concluding a hunt that began almost 50 years ago, particle physicists from CERN and the US have detected an elusive and weird phenomenon called the ‘odderon’. It was formed by firing protons at each other at high energies in the Large Hadron Collider, the 17-mile-long particle accelerator circling under the French-Swiss border. This effort built on … Read more
