Study Reveals How Multi-Strange Particles Respond to Quark Matter

Researchers have found that particles with different numbers of strange quarks respond differently to QGP formation in intermediate-energy gold-gold collisions.In the first few microseconds after the birth of the universe, the protons and neutrons that make up today's atomic nuclei had not yet formed. Matter existed as a hot "soup" of quarks and gluons, k...
