Large Hadron Collider News
‘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...
Study Proposes Fiber-laser-based Particle Accelerator
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.
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...
Data Transfer Hits Record of 186 Gb/s
PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 15, 2012 — With a sustained data transfer rate of 186 Gb/s, a new world record has been set, ushering in the next generation of high-speed network technology. At the SuperComputing 2011 conference in Seattle in mid-November, an international team of...
A Communist Chocolate Hellhole
Dec 6, 2011 — Here’s what bothers me about time travel movies: When faced with someone claiming to be from the future, people will express disbelief for maybe a minute or two. After that, it’s all, “Oh please, Captain Tomorrow, please stop those...
10-Year Study Shows Electron Is Surprisingly Spherical
LONDON, May 26, 2011 — Using a very precise laser, physicists have made the most accurate measurement of the shape of an electron, deeming it 0.000000000000000000000000001 cm from being perfectly round. This means that if the electron were magnified to the size of the...
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...
Fahrenheit -459: Neutron Stars and String Theory
DURHAM, N.C., Dec. 30, 2010 — Ultrachilled atoms trapped in a "bowl" made of laser light and then placed in a magnetic field have allowed scientists to measure the viscosity of a gas often considered to be the sixth state of matter. The measurements verify that this gas can be...
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...
CERN Approves Revised Plan
GENEVA, Sept. 20, 2010 — During an intense series of meetings, the CERN Council overwhelmingly approved the laboratory’s revised Medium Term Plan for the period 2011-2015. The plan was originally presented at the council’s June session, at which CERN...
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...
Large Hadron Collider Sets Record
GENEVA, March 22, 2010 – Two 3.5 TeV proton beams successfully circulated in the Large Hadron Collider for the first time on March 19. This is the highest energy achieved to date and an important step on ...
AMS Readies for Dark-Matter Mission
GENEVA, Feb. 17, 2010 – The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) has taken its initial steps in a journey that will take it ultimately to the International Space Station (ISS), where it will be used to look ...
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 Smashes Speed Record
GENEVA, Nov. 30, 2009 – CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) outside Geneva became the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator by accelerating its twin beams of protons to an energy of 1.18 TeV, breaking the previous record of 0.98 TeV held by Fermi Lab’s Tevatron...
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...
Slow Start
Oct 1, 2009 — The Large Hadron Collider, run by CERN of Geneva, is planning a slow start this fall. Scientists in charge of the project have decided to run the machine at 3.5 TeV per beam initially, as they hope to prevent a repeat of last year’s incident. They...
Large Hadron Collider Restart
Sep 1, 2009 — According to CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, repairs and upgrades to the Large Hadron Collider are on schedule for a restart this fall, although two to three weeks later than originally planned. A new quench...
