# LHC experiments spot Big Bang plasma in oxygen and neon collisions, no lead required

Physicists long assumed that recreating the matter of the newborn universe meant colliding lead nuclei. All four of the Large Hadron Collider's major experiments now report signs that oxygen and neon can do the job.Each of the four collaborations (ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb) found evidence that quar
