The Large Hadron Collider Topic GuideA rare, fleeting "beauty" particle has been spotted in the first run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The LHC started work on 30 March, and one of its four large detectors detected evidence of a beauty quark – also, less poetically, known as bottom quark – on 5 April.
The find should be the first of many beauty decays that LHCb, the LHC's beauty experiment, will observe, and demonstrates the detector is working as planned.
