On 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 ...

Feb 5, 2025 · CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is one of the world’s largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Its business is fundamental physics, finding out what the Universe is made of and how it works.

What are the detectors at the LHC? There are nine experiments installed at the LHC: ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, LHCf, TOTEM, MoEDAL-MAPP, FASER and [email protected] use detectors to analyse the myriad of particles produced by collisions in the accelerator. These experiments are run by collaborations of scientists from institutes all over the world.

Nov 25, 2024 · The particles completed a final lap of honour around the LHC on 23 November, bringing the 2024 run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to a close. The LHC performed beautifully in its tenth year of operation. During the proton run, which began on 25 April and ended on 16 October, an exceptional volume of data was collected at a collision energy of 13.6 teraelectronvolts (TeV).

Sep 10, 2008 · The 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 particles along the way.

Dec 20, 2024 · 2024 holds special significance for CERN, as it celebrated its 70th anniversary. To mark this major milestone, the Organization held a series of public events in the CERN Science Gateway around the overarching themes: Unveiling the Universe, Exploring Farther: Machines for New Knowledge, Virtuous Circle of Knowledge and …

Real CMS proton-proton collision events in which 4 high energy muons (red lines) are observed. The event shows characteristics expected from the decay of a Higgs boson but is also consistent with background Standard Model physics processes.
