Description

In the world of quantum physics, the problems is that all matter seems to be composed of just two of the six available kinds of quarks. However, a team of physicists at the Brookhaven national Laboratory reported that by sifting through a beam of neutral particles, they had recorded two possible sightings of the lighest form of strange matter known as an H dibaryon. This article discusses both the background for this discovery, the events surrounding it and the possibilities of the future
