Updated proton maps bring clarity to how matter formed just after the Big Bang
SMRTR summary
Scientists at the University of Jyväskylä have created improved computer models that better simulate atomic nuclei colliding at nearly light speed, revealing how matter behaved just after the Big Bang. These collisions break apart protons and neutrons, creating quark-gluon plasma that mirrors conditions from the universe's earliest moments. The updated models now align more closely with experimental data from CERN and Brookhaven National Laboratory, allowing researchers to extract more precise measurements of this elusive matter and advance understanding of the fundamental forces that shaped our universe.
