Quantum proton billiards: ATLAS experiment reports fundamental properties of strong interactions
by The Henryk Niewodniczanski Institute of Nuclear Physics Polish Academy of Sciences Protons accelerated almost to the speed of light can collide similarly to billiard balls. However, since protons are quantum particles, from measuring such collisions we can learn unobvious things about the strong interaction.
