CERN Scientists Discover Three New Exotic particles.
Quarks are fundamental particles that are available in six varieties such as up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom.
They typically join in groups of twos and threes in order to form hadrons like the neutrons and protons which make up the atomic nuclei.
However, more often they also can be combined into five-quark and four-quark particles or pentaquarks and tetraquarks.
These unusual wasrons had been predicted by scientists around simultaneously as traditional hadrons, around six decades ago.
over the last 20 years in the last 20 years, have they been monitored by the LHCb or other studies.
The vast majority of exotic hadrons found in the last two decades were tetraquarks, or pentaquarks.
In 2021, they discovered the first ever instance of the tetraquark 'double open'
