Physicists find strongest evidence yet for exotic glueball particle after nearly 50 years
Reported byScienceAlert ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
An international collaboration at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider II reports that the particle X(2370), discovered in 2011, is dominated by a glueball—an exotic particle predicted by quantum chromodynamics but never conclusively identified. The finding comes from analysis of high-energy particle collisions and was presented at the International Conference on High Energy Physics.
