CERN Scientists Uncover a Hidden Order Inside Particle Chaos
Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle collisions.
High energy proton collisions can be imagined as a boiling sea of quarks and gluons, including short lived virtual ones. In this extreme phase, particles seem to have far more ways to interact and change than the smaller number of more orderly particles that later spread out from the collision point. At first glance, this early stage appears vastly more complex. Yet measurements from the LHC accelerator show that this picture is incomplete and that proton collisions are better explained by an improved theoretical model.
