Bookmark or Share- The Large Hadron Collider - CERNThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex. The LHC consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the ...
- Large Hadron Collider reaches its first stable beams in 2024On Friday 5 April, at 6.25 p.m., the LHC Engineer-in-Charge at the CERN Control Centre (CCC) announced that stable beams were back in the Large Hadron Collider, marking the official start of the 2024 physics data-taking season. The third year of LHC Run 3 promises six months of 13.6 TeV proton collisions at an even higher luminosity than before, meaning more collisions for the experiments to ...
- The Higgs boson - CERNThis particle had no electrical charge, it was short-lived and it decayed in ways that the Higgs boson should, according to theory. To confirm if it really was the Higgs boson, physicists needed to check its “spin” – the Higgs boson is the only particle to have a spin of zero.
- The Future Circular Collider - CERNThe FCC-ee would be the largest particle accelerator ever built, with its radio frequency cavities and magnet and cryogenic systems drawing the main power loads. The FCC-ee power consumption is expected to vary between 1 and 1.8 TWh/year depending on the machine’s operation mode.
- Breaking new ground in the search for dark matter - CERNThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is renowned for the hunt for and discovery of the Higgs boson, but in the 10 years since the machine collided protons at an energy higher than previously achieved at a particle accelerator, researchers have been using it to try to hunt down an equally exciting particle: the hypothetical particle that may make up an invisible form of matter called dark matter ...
