Large Hadron Collider
Physicists on the LHCb experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have detected the Xicc+ particle, a baryon containing two charm quarks and one down quark. This heavier analogue of the proton resolves a 20-year-old mystery from a previous experiment. The discovery, confirmed at over 7 sigma significance, highlights upgrades to the LHCb detector.
