Observation of the doubly charmed heavy proton Ξcc+ at LHCb experiment.

Switzerland has been on top of the adaptation of the data of the brand-new LHCb Run 3 experiment in physics analyses. This new achievement required a quick calibration of the detector developed in direct collaboration with the analysts, where L. Dufour (at EPFL) contributed. Composed of two charm quarks and one down quark, the doubly charmed particle is four times heavier than a proton.

Today at the Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak meeting, the upgraded LHCb experiment at CERN announced its first particle discovery: a new kind of heavy proton-like particle known as the Ξcc⁺.

Ξcc⁺ is composed of two charm quarks and one down quark, the doubly charmed particle is four times heavier than a proton.
