Much to the surprise of Yang and colleagues, it appeared that particles produced by photon–photon collisions affect the properties of the QGP. This was not expected because the photon–photon collision ...

Photon–photon collision is theorized to be a fundamental means by which matter is generated in the universe, and it arises from Einstein's well-known equation E=mc 2. In fact, researchers have ...

The collisions emit hundreds of thousands of photons every second. Each time a photon hits a crystal, the interaction is ...

Lightning is a phenomenon that has fascinated humanity since time immemorial, providing a stark example of the power and ...

The innovative approach was the usage of only a laser for electron-photon collisions, in which a multi-PW laser is applied both for particle acceleration and for collision (also called an all ...

we are able to analyze all the kinematic distributions with high statistics to determine that the experimental results are indeed consistent with real photon collisions." Bending light in a vacuum ...

Heavy duty A high-energy photonic jet (white and blue) blasts through a collapsing star with a black hole at its centre. The cocoon where free neutrons may be available for the r-process is shown in ...

More from the Big Bang: the cosmic microwave background. Once the energy from cosmic particle/photon collisions exceed a certain threshold, the cosmic particles will begin to lose energy as a ...

“Many different particles can be produced in photon collisions, so such a collider could potentially be used to study fundamental physics with a very clean experimental approach. [It] could be ...

Recent advances in micrometer-scale structured plasma targets have further opened doors to achieving photon collisions that produce electron-positron pairs. A breakthrough concept, proposed by a ...

which is harder to create in collisions of protons. But these ion runs also enable scientists to turn the LHC into a new type of machine: a photon-photon collider. “This result demonstrates that ...
