LHC: The Beams are Back

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GENEVA, Nov. 23, 2009 – Particle beams are once again circulating in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), 14 months after an electrical failure caused serious damage to the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, which straddles the borders of France and Switzerland and is hosted by CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. “It’s great to see beam circulating in the LHC again,” said CERN Director General Rolf Heuer. “We’ve still got some way to go before physics can begin, but with this milestone we’re well on the way.” Scientists at CERN react...Read full article

    detector
    1. A device designed to convert the energy of incident radiation into another form for the determination of the presence of the radiation. The device may function by electrical, photographic or visual means. 2. A device that provides an electric output that is a useful measure of the radiation that is incident on the device.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
