Collisions of atomic and subatomic particles at very high energies reveal important properties about the beginning of the Universe and the atomic forces, and how fundamental particles are formed and react with each other. Adam Bzdak from the RIKEN BNL Research Center and colleague Vladimir Skokov from Brookhaven National Laboratory in the US have now proposed a scheme that allows for a better understanding of how light and subatomic particles react with each other during such high-energy collisions.
