When one snooker ball hits another, both spring away from each other in an elastic manner. In the case of two photons a similar process -- the elastic collision -- has never been observed.

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly ...

In the photon–photon collisions that resulted, muon–antimuon pairs are generated and the particles typically fly off in opposite directions. As the ion separation distances became smaller, the CMS ...

Elastic Collision and Stored Energy (1961) Posted: March 14, 2025 | Last updated: March 14, 2025. Illustrates how kinetic energy is transferred from one body to another through elastic collisions.

The results indicate that photon-heavy ion collisions can create a strongly interacting fluid that responds to the initial collision geometry and that these collisions can form a quark-gluon plasma.
