Scientists have recreated the extreme conditions of the early universe in particle accelerators, revealing surprising insights about the formation of matter.
New calculations show that up to 70% of certain particles may originate from later reactions rather than the initial quark-gluon soup formed just after the DOI: 10.1016/j.physletb.2023.138246
