Summary

Story summary

Physicists from the Institute of Nuclear Physics in Krakow observed coherent production of triplets of pions in proton collisions at the LHC.
The finding supports the core-halo model of hadronization, where quarks and gluons form a quark-gluon plasma that cools to create matter.
The study, published in the Journal of High Energy Physics, utilized quantum correlations to analyze particle emissions.
