Particle accelerators like the LHC require intricate beam dump systems to safely dispose of high-energy particles after each run. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s most powerful ...

Symmetry goes inside the CERN Control Centre on restart day. Mike Lamont, the deputy head of the Beams Department at CERN, home to the Large Hadron Collider, turns and looks toward the entrance of the ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever built, is ready to go back into service after a three-year overhaul and refit. On April 22, 2022 at 12:16 pm ...

Early data from the LHC's CMS experiment. (Courtesy: CERN) The official “start up” day of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun, with a low-energy beam of protons making it all the way round the ...

We interview one of the physicists looking for the Higgs boson at CERN. He talks to us about what it's like working at the geekiest place on Earth -- stand by for science! Jason Jenkins Director of ...

The BIG questions on everyone's mind are: When will the LHC achieve first collisions, what will be the luminosity (event rate), and what will be the center of mass energy of the first collisions? The ...
