Protons may have more 'charm' than we thought, new research suggests.
By looking at the debris from these collisions, researchers can reconstruct the original state of the particles.
In the new study, the scientists handed over all of this collision data to a machine-learning algorithm designed to look for patterns without any preconceived notions of how the structures might look.The study found a"small but not negligible" chance of finding a charm quark, Forte told Nature Briefing.
The structure of the proton is important, Forte said, because to discover new elementary particles, physicists will have to uncover minuscule differences in what theories suggest and what's actually observed. This requires extremely precise measurements of subatomic structures. For now, physicists still need more data on the elusive"charm" within a proton. Future experiments, such as the planned Electron-Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, may help, Tim Hobbs, a theoretical physicist at Fermilab in Batavia, Illinois, told Science News.
