    The Belle Experiment at KEK laboratory in Japan has discovered two unexpected new types of hadrons.

  • Newswire: CNRS - GUINEVERE : towards cleaner nuclear energy

    Updated: 2012-01-11 06:00:00
    It's a worldwide first: the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCK•CEN) has succeeded in operating a lead-cooled nuclear reactor controlled by a particle accelerator built by CNRS. The objective is to control the operation of nuclear reactors more easily and produce less polluting nuclear waste in the long term. This operational model, known as GUINEVERE, was also built in collaboration with CEA, the European Commission and around ten European laboratories.

  • Newswire: KEK - Belle Discovers New Heavy 'Exotic Hadrons'

    Updated: 2012-01-10 06:00:00
    Two unexpected new hadrons containing bottom quarks have been discovered by the Belle Experiment using the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK)'s B Factory (KEKB), a highly-luminous, electron-positron collider. These new particles have electric charge and are thought to be "exotic" hadrons -- non-standard hadrons, containing at least four quarks. Previously, a series of new and unexpected exotic hadrons containing charm and anti-charm quarks have been observed. This latest discovery from Belle demonstrates the existence of exotic hadrons containing at least four quarks in a particle system including bottom quarks.

    Updated: 2011-12-22 06:00:00
    A group of three researchers from KEK, Shizuoka University and Osaka University has for the first time revealed the way our universe was born with 3 spatial dimensions from 10-dimensional superstring theory1 in which spacetime has 9 spatial directions and 1 temporal direction. This result was obtained by numerical simulation on a supercomputer.
