LHC Detector Installed

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GENEVA, Nov. 12, 2007 -- One of the most fragile detectors for the Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment has been installed in its final position. LHCb is one of four large experiments at CERN1’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), expected to start up in 2008. For the LHCb collaboration, installing the vertex locator (VELO) detector into its final location in the underground experimental cavern at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) particle physics center has been a challenging task. “It was a very delicate operation”, said Paula Collins, LHCb-VELO project leader, “With its successful...Read full article

    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...
