Scientists at the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP) based in Beijing, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the University of Hawaii have recently reported the discovery of a new subatomic particle named X1835.
This discovery was made using a spectrometer at the Beijing Positron Electron Collider. The mass of this particle is nearly twice that of a proton, yet its existence is very short-lived, lasting approximately 10^-23 seconds. Tord Ekelof, a professor at Uppsala University in Sweden, warmly welcomed this discovery. He stated, “This could be the first evidence that matter and antimatter can connect to form a new type of matter. This is a very significant finding in physics.”
Most known particles that have strong atomic forces are formed by two or three quarks, which are the smallest known forms of matter. However, particle physicists have long theorized the existence of other types of particles, including those that contain more than three quarks or those that contain gluons and quarks.
The discovery of X1835 is one of the significant achievements of collaboration among physicists from over 20 institutions in China, the United States, and other countries.
