# Two New Particles Found With The Help Of The Large Hadron Collider

- The particles are called Xi\_b'- and Xi\_b\*-, and each contain three fundamental components of matter called quarks
- The particles’ properties match up well with the predictions of quantum chromodynamics, a theory that dictates how quarks interact
- Physicists hope the LHC will reveal particles that don’t quite fit those predictions, perhaps leading to the discovery of new fundamental particles or forces
