Scientists with LHCb, an experiment at the LHC, found an unexpected behavior in
b hadrons that sped off at an angle from beams of colliding protons, rather than continuing on a nearly
These experiments will be done both at electron - positron collider facilities called
B factories and at high - energy
hadron colliders, because each type of facility offers different capabilities to contribute to the study of this detail of the laws of physics — a detail that is responsible for such an important property of the universe as the fact that there is anything there at all!
