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 …

2008年9月10日 · 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 …

The World Wide Web was invented by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 while working at CERN

2024年12月16日 · The LHCb detector seen in 2018 during its opening (Image: CERN) In the Big Bang, matter and antimatter should have been created in equal amounts. But fast forward 13.8 billion years to the present day and the Universe is made almost entirely of matter, so something must have happened to create this imbalance. The Standard Model of particle physics predicts …

5 天之前 · 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.

The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter.Although it has the same scientific goals as the ATLAS experiment, it uses different …

The theories and discoveries of thousands of physicists since the 1930s have resulted in a remarkable insight into the fundamental structure of matter: everything in the universe is found to be made from a few basic building blocks called fundamental particles, governed by four fundamental forces.

CERN’s experimental programme has consisted of hundreds of experiments spanning decades. Among these were pioneering experiments for electroweak physics, a branch of physics that unifies the electromagnetic and weak fundamental forces.In 1958, an experiment at the Synchrocyclotron discovered a rare pion decay that spread CERN’s name around the world.

The Antiproton Decelerator (AD) is a unique machine that produces low-energy antiprotons for studies of antimatter, and “creates” antiatoms.
