In particle physics, a hadron (/ˈhædrɒn/ ; from Ancient Greek ἁδρός (hadrós) 'stout, thick') is a composite subatomic particle made of two or more quarks...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research...

physics by colliding hadrons. A hadron collider uses tunnels to accelerate, store, and collide two particle beams. Only a few hadron colliders have been...

epoch to bind together into hadrons. Initially, the temperature was high enough to allow the formation of hadron/anti-hadron pairs, which kept matter and...

Exotic hadrons are subatomic particles composed of quarks and gluons, but which – unlike "well-known" hadrons such as protons, neutrons and mesons – consist...

Hadron spectroscopy is the subfield of particle physics that studies the masses and decays of hadrons. Hadron spectroscopy is also an important part of...

The CERN Hadron Linacs are linear accelerators that accelerate beams of hadrons from a standstill to be used by the larger circular accelerators at the...

HARP, the Hadron Production Experiment, also referred to as the PS214 experiment, at the Proton Synchrotron was a physics experiment at CERN that took...

fundamental interaction that confines quarks into protons, neutrons, and other hadron particles. The strong interaction also binds neutrons and protons to create...

R-hadrons are hypothetical particles composed of a supersymmetric particle and at least one quark. Only a few of the current supersymmetry theories predict...

the universe continued to fall, hadron–anti-hadron pairs were no longer produced. Most of the hadrons and anti-hadrons were then eliminated in particle–antiparticle...
