The Large Hadron Collider is going to be shut down — not permanently, but for a pretty long time — and the famous atom ...

In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...

The first superconducting magnet for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was lowered into the accelerator tunnel at 2.00 p.m. on Monday, 7th March. This is the first of the 1232 dipole magnets for the ...

Geneva, 28 November 2007. CERN took delivery of the last superconducting main magnet for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) on 27 November. This completes the full set of 1624 main magnets required to ...

The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful ...

I came across a very interesting explanation of what actually happens in an incident such as the one which felled the LHC, from Vern Paxson, [email protected]. He worked on software for the 1980s big ...

The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the ...

Batavia, Ill. - Officials of the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, near Chicago, and of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, in Geneva, announced ...

New accelerator magnets are undergoing a rigorous training program to prepare them for the extreme conditions inside the upgraded Large Hadron Collider. When training for a marathon, runners must ...

On April 3 last year, the left-hand side of the Fermilab Today website had a graphical weather forecast depicting storm clouds. It was a fitting metaphor for the mood of the US lab, which had recently ...

Contrary to some hysterical warnings of doom, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) did not create a black hole and destroy Earth when it came online in 2008. Since then, the LHC has identified the Higgs ...

The LHC is one of the coldest places on the planet. Liquid helium is constantly pulsing through sophisticated plumbing that runs both inside and outside of the Large Hadron Collider. Thanks to this ...
