LHC collaboration presents first result in the hunt for 'quirks'
Phys.org ·
The Brief
- An international collaboration of physicists has presented its first results in its search for hypothetical particles called quirks.
- The particles could help explain the vast disparity between the strength of gravity and the three fundamental forces described by the Standard Model.
- The available source text is an excerpt and does not give further details of the results.
Why it matters
If quirks exist, they could help explain why gravity is so much weaker than the other fundamental forces, so these first results mark an early step in testing that idea.
