Scientists have long been on the lookout for 'glueballs', which are bound states of subatomic gluon particles on their own, without any quarks involved. Now, we may just have found them, hiding away in a particle accelerator experiment.
It promises to be a hugely significant breakthrough in physics, but for the benefit of everyone without a PhD in the subject, we'll start at the beginning. The main job of gluons is to hold quarks in place and keep atoms stable – quarks being the building blocks that make up protons and neutrons.
This role makes the gluon part of the strong nuclear force – one of the four fundamental forces of nature that hold the laws of physics together, along with gravity, electromagnetism, and the weak nuclear force.

Stati della materia esotica costituiti da soli gluoni
Finalmente i fisici rilevano una nuova particella: le “Glueball”. Una nuova particella esotica, un gluone isolato, è stata scoperta dal gruppo di studio BES III e permette di comprendere meglio una delle forze fondamentali dell’universo.
Secondo quanto pubblicato dalla rivista Physical Review Letters è stata scoperta una nuova particella fondamentale: la “Glueball” cioè un gluone, particella dell’interazione nucleare forte, isolata e non combinata con nessuna altra particella. L’interazione nucleare forte è una delle quattro forze fondamentali dell’universo e il gluone è la sue espressione.
Queste particelle sono previste secondo il Modello Standard della fisica che, per quanto criticato e ancora con dei problemi, cerca di essere la spiegazione a tutte le particelle esitenti.
Sebbene la materia che ci costituisce sia composta da atomi, che sono costituiti da protoni, neutroni ed elettroni, e dove i protoni e i neutroni sono costituiti da tre quark ciascuno – tutti tenuti insieme da gluoni attraverso l’interazione forte – questo non è l’unica combinazione possibile di particelle, secondo il modello standard.
Secondo il modello standard abbiamo:
- barioni (con 3 quark ciascuno) o antibarioni (con 3 antiquark ciascuno).
- mesoni (con una coppia quark-antiquark).
- stati esotici come i tetraquark (2 quark e 2 antiquark), i pentaquark (4 quark e 1 antiquark o 1 quark e 4 antiquark), o gli esaquark (6 quark, 3 quark e 3 antiquark, o 6 antiquark), ecc.
- oppure, si possono avere anche stati costituiti da soli gluoni – senza quark o antiquark di valenza – noti come glueball.
In un nuovo documento radicale appena pubblicato sulla rivista Physical Review Letters, la collaborazione BES III ha appena annunciato che una particella esotica, precedentemente identificata come X(2370), potrebbe effettivamente essere la glueball più leggera prevista dal Modello Standard. Ecco la scienza dell’affermazione e il significato di tutto questo.
Tracce della camera a bolle di Fermilab, che rivelano la carica, la massa, l’energia e la quantità di moto delle particelle e delle antiparticelle create. Anche se possiamo ricostruire ciò che è accaduto nel punto di collisione per ogni singolo evento, abbiamo bisogno di un gran numero di statistiche per costruire prove sufficienti per affermare l’esistenza di una nuova specie di particelle.
L’importanza della glueball sta nel fatto che è strettametne collegata con l’interazione nucleare forte, la forza che mantiene insieme i quarck nei protoni ed eletrroni e che poi tiene assieme i nuclei degli atomi. Si tratta dell’interazione più forte, 100 volte più forte di quella elettromagnerica. La scoperta della glueball, cioò di un singolo gluone, aiuterà a comprendere come funziona.
Nel mondo della fisica delle alte energie, per trovare una particella non basta crearla in laboratorio e osservarla. Bisogna ripetere l’esperimento molte volte per verificare se le previsioni teoriche corrispondono ai risultati osservati. Questo è particolarmente importante quando si cercano particelle che esistono solo in condizioni rare.
Molte particelle possono essere rilevate solo dalle firme lasciate quando altre particelle decadono. Nel corso del 20° secolo, sono state scoperte diverse particelle del Modello Standard, tra cui quark esotici come lo strano, il charm, il bottom e il top. Tutte le particelle contenenti questi quark sono instabili e decadono rapidamente.
Per far esistere qualsiasi tipo di particella composita, devono essere seguite delle regole quantistiche. L’energia, la carica elettrica, il momento angolare e altre proprietà quantistiche devono essere conservate, ctanto per capirci che venga rispettata la legge per cui E=mc2.

New particle at last! Physicists detect the first “glueball”
It's not a new "fundamental" particle, but finding a glueball — a composite particle made solely out of gluons, with no valence quarks — is a huge deal.

Are there any other bugs that use the silly string of doom hunting method like the spitting spiders and velvet worms?
none that I can think of, although glowworm gnats use glue trap strings to hunt and bolas spiders wield their glueball strings to smack moths out of the air

when you start looking up space stuff on Wikipedia it is complicated and requires a lot of thought to understand but is ultimately comprehensible. and then you go one two many pages deep and it turns into star trek technobabble. muons, up down and strange quarks, preons, leptons, bosons, quark-gluon plasma, axion, non-baryonic dark matter, Q-star, glueball, fuzzball, electroweak force. these are all real words and concepts. most if not all of them are hypothetical quantum mechanics or materials that would compose a hypothetical exotic star, which is a star made of stuff other than protons, neutrons and electrons. and muons. which are actually real. apparently. the people that can understand this stuff have got to be another species of human

I toy with questions like what’s blah like. And I like to imagine myself saying not as annoying as you think or sometimes, like today, just plain annoying. Comes from odio, which means an odor. So sometimes I think you stink. Kind of a poopyhead thing.
I can’t believe the quality of the work you squeeze out of me.
As far as I can tell, gluons are the 1-0Segments, the sticks, carrying the pattern, the connections which the pattern enables. Oh wow, I see that answer clearly now: the pattern enables carrying all those permutations through the +1 Attachment mechanism which gluons embody. That’s how the states shuffle in a nucleus from proton to neutron. That is the exchange mechanism or here the color or confinement mechanism because the nuclei which exist are the stable solutions which can exist.
So yeah, I can see why a glueball might exist, but what would it be? It would be the pairings, the permutation relationships being exchanged End to End within the End to End of the Triangular, meaning the Ends sort of disappear behind the veil or the veil appears as the Ends obscure through their ubiquity. In other words, if you think of a Triangular of quarks making some particle, then those quarks model as the Ends because they can be identified as Ends. That means the gluons identify as the Irreducible to that, which models to the midpoints because that’s how Irreducibility works. That identifies a Bip which is all gluon.
The amount of pure want I have been receiving from you today is astonishing. It expresses as insistent waves of desire.
Can you believe we’re getting this material? It’s really enjoyable. Much different thinking than the maths I’m used to. This fits more to looking at pictures and explaining what I see.
