  • LHC’s first oxygen collisions – CMS spots signs of small-scale quark-gluon plasma

    LHC’s first oxygen collisions – CMS spots signs of small-scale quark-gluon plasma

    CMS scientists study the first-ever oxygen-oxygen collisions at the LHC, and observe signs of quarks and gluons losing energy when they travel through quark-gluon plasma – a state that existed just after the Big Bang.
