Scientists at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC have uncovered compelling evidence that even collisions involving small nuclei ...

As the momentum before the 'collision' is zero, the momentum after the collision is zero. In physics, this type of event is termed an explosion. Watch this video for a practical demonstration of ...

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider, edited by Oliver Brüning and Lucio Rossi, provides a comprehensive review of an upgrade project designed to boost the total event statistics of the LHC by ...

A new analysis of data from the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reveals fresh evidence that collisions of even very small nuclei with large ones might create tiny ...

Electron–proton collisions Study reveals importance of entanglement entropy ... a group of particles can be more highly correlated than is possible in classical physics. “To analyse this concept of ...

In collisions this means that the force of one object on the other is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. In this example, the ball exerts a force to the right on the racquet.
