‘God particle’ theorists share physics Nobel
STOCKHOLM – Peter Higgs and François Englert will share the 2013 Nobel Prize in physics for their independent theoretical discoveries nearly 50 years ago of the Higgs boson, the so-called “God particle” that gives all other particles their mass. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences bestowed the award in October on British physicist Higgs, professor emeritus at the University of Edinburgh, and Belgian physicist Englert of the Free University of Brussels, who published papers independen...
‘God Particle’ Theorists Share Physics Nobel
STOCKHOLM, Oct. 8, 2013 — Peter Higgs and François Englert will share the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for their independent theoretical discoveries nearly 50 years ago of the Higgs boson, the so-called “God particle” that gives all other particles their...

SOUTHAMPTON, England, March 29, 2013 — An international study proposing that a massive fiber laser system could produce the next-generation particle accelerator has now been published.
Evidence Grows for Higgs Boson Discovery
GENEVA, March 15, 2013 — The particle discovered last summer during experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is looking more than ever like a Higgs boson, according to preliminary results released at the Moriond Conference this week in La Thuile, Italy.
Using Fiber Lasers for Particle Acceleration Technologies
SOUTHAMPTON, England, Feb. 7, 2013 — A novel laser system combining the output of thousands of pulsed fiber lasers could be the solution to two main issues affecting current laser particle acceleration technologies: efficiency and repetition rates.
CERN detector to measure supershort pulses
VIENNA – Conventional measurement techniques soon will be too slow to measure phenomena taking place on timescales faster than an attosecond. To measure such light pulses, scientists have proposed a method to create the world’s most precise stopwatch....
CERN Detector to Measure Supershort Light Pulses
VIENNA, Nov. 13, 2012 — Conventional measurement techniques soon will be too slow to measure phenomena taking place on timescales faster than an attosecond. To measure such light pulses, scientists have proposed a method to create the world’s most precise stopwatch.
MTD to supply parts for SwissFEL
STOKE-ON-TRENT, UK – Engineering firm Midland Tool and Design (MTD) is producing components for use in a facility similar to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The company will manufacture the components for Switzerland’s Paul Scherrer Institute’s SwissFEL...
LHC Experiments Shed Light on Primordial Universe
GENEVA, Aug. 14, 2012 — The primordial particles of matter that existed just after the big bang are now being re-created in the Large Hadron Collider to advance understanding of the kind of matter that existed in the first seconds of the universe.
MTD to Supply Parts for FEL Project
STOKE-ON-TRENT, England, July 11, 2012 — Midland Tool and Design is producing components for use in a facility similar to the Large Hadron Collider.
Search for Higgs Boson at LHC Reveals New Particle
GENEVA, July 5, 2012 — Two Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments presented preliminary results Wednesday that describe a new particle consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson, the famous missing ingredient in the Standard Model of particle physics. The findings could...
DiCon, Caltech Customize LHC Optical Switches
RICHMOND, Calif., Jan. 21, 2011 — The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) operated by CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is the world’s largest particle accelerator. Stretching 17 miles long at its location near Geneva, the scientific instrument boosts protons to nearly...
ATLAS Collaboration at CERN Unveils Giant Mural
GENEVA, Oct. 20, 2010 — The ATLAS collaboration at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research’s laboratory for particle physics, unveiled a giant mural recently depicting the ATLAS particle detector, which is currently collecting data at the Large Hadron...
AMS Arrives at Kennedy Space Center
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla., Sept. 1, 2010 — The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), an experiment that will search for antimatter and dark matter in space, arrived recently at the Kennedy Space Center as it moves forward on its journey to the International Space Station. The AMS detector was...
LHC Records 1M Collisions
AMES, Iowa, Jan. 7, 2009 – Three Iowa State University physicists who took winter trips to the Large Hadron Collider for meetings and experimental work are starting to see real data from the planet’s biggest science experiment – finally. The multibillion-dollar collider made...
LHC: The Beams are Back
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...
CERN Parties Like It’s 2009
GENEVA, Oct. 21, 2008 -- Despite a malfunction that has shuttered the world’s largest particle accelerator until 2009, officials at CERN, the organization hosting the ailing atom smasher, held an inauguration ceremony today. Attending the celebration to inaugurate the...
LHC: No Smashing Until Spring
GENEVA, Sept. 23, 2008 -- Investigation into the cause of a large helium leak at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and repairs to the magnets that quenched during the leak mean the atom smasher won’t restart until spring 2009, officials at CERN, the organization hosting...
LHC Repairs to Take Months
GENEVA, Sept. 22, 2008 -- A faulty electrical connection between two magnets was most likely the cause of a magnet quench Friday that resulted in a large helium leak at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, and will mean the...
Quench Latest LHC Setback
GENEVA, Sept. 19, 2008 -- A magnet quench Friday that resulted in a large helium leak is the latest setback for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle accelerator, which was launched with great fanfare last week. The LHC contains hundreds of...
Collider Beams Up at CERN
GENEVA, Sept. 10, 2008 -- After 20-plus years of planning, billions of dollars, lawsuits, and even death threats, the first beam of protons in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator was successfully steered around a 17-mile racetrack at nearly the speed of...
Physicists Collide with Doomsayers
Sep 10, 2008 — Recently, theoretical chemist Otto Rössler and others have protested the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, fearing that the world’s largest particle accelerator will produce massive black holes that will swallow Earth. Proponents of the...
Threats Won't Stop Collider
GENEVA, Sept. 9, 2008 -- Despite death threats, lawsuits, and even physicist Stephen Hawking betting against it, the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator, will be turned on Wednesday. The LHC operates in a circular tunnel 27 km (16.7 miles) in...
Refilling the Physicist Pool
BUFFALO, N.Y., July 5, 2007 -- At the mention of the word "outsourcing," most people probably think of manufacturing, not theoretical physics. But the scientists who develop theoretical predictions for high-energy particle physics experiments say outsourcing in their field has...
