Scientists have discovered the mythical particle of Odderon

In 1973, two French particle physicists discovered that, according to their calculations, there was a

a previously unknown quasiparticle. The discovery sparked an international search for it.

A particle of Odderon is formed when a shorttime protons collide, bouncing off each other and scattering. Protons are made up of quarks and gluons, which for a short time form the particles of Odderon and Pomeron.

And now to the research group to whichincludes researchers from the University of Lund, was able to identify the Odderon particle in connection with an expanded study of data analysis at the CERN particle accelerator.

"This is an important milestone in the field of particle physics! I think it's fantastic to contribute to a deeper understanding of matter, the fundamental building blocks of our world."

Roman Pasechnik, particle physics researcher at Lund University.

Thanks to extensive analysis of data oncollisions of protons with protons and protons with antiprotons, the researchers were able to detect this particle. The analysis took several months, but in the end it paid off.
