plasma

Scientists are continuing to analyze data from collisions involving lighter atomic nuclei, searching for additional evidence of how quark–gluon plasma forms and behaves.

Some are more tightly bound than others, making them differently susceptible to disruption by the surrounding plasma.

Such impacts are expected to create a larger volume of plasma, giving particles more material to travel through and causing greater energy loss.
