Possible discovery of a ‘glueball’ shakes up particle physics

 




Scientists have long been looking for 'glueballs', which are bonded states of subatomic gluon particles without any quarks, and they may have discovered them in a particle accelerator experiment.

It seems like a really big step forward in physics, but why? Let's comprehend. Gluons play a major role in maintaining the stability of atoms by holding quarks in place, which are the building blocks of protons and neutrons.

About this function, the gluon is a component of the strong nuclear force, which, together with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak nuclear force, is one of the four basic forces of nature that sustain the rules of physics. Until now, glueballs have just been propositions that physicists believe ought to be real since gluons should be able to bind to one another.
