The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) require high-performance event-selection systems—known as "triggers" in particle physics—to filter the flow of data to manageable levels. The ...

The famous particle accelerator has gone silent, but its next chapter could usher in a new era of particle physics.

The world's most powerful particle accelerator will undergo some major upgrades during the 4-year hiatus.

Particle detectors like the ones used by physicists at CERN can have wide applications beyond fundamental research. Scientists from the German National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT), the German ...

THIS amazing instrument may be the world’s heaviest camera-like device. But instead of photons of light, it records something far more exotic: muons, produced by the collisions of billions of ...

Scientists turned off the world’s largest particle accelerator in December. This planned, 3-year shutdown at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will let staff make repairs and upgrade the accelerator so ...

A research team of Tomsk Polytechnic University is participating in the upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN). In the upgrading works TPU ...

One of the most important discoveries in physics in a long time was made there 14 years ago, and now the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator in Geneva is being shut down for several years ...

The ATLAS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is going on tour. Not the real one of course, but a 150 kg wooden replica of the cathedral-sized detector. Technicians at the DESY ...

Neutrinos are perhaps one of the most elusive yet ubiquitous particles around us. Researchers at CERN have invested heavily in detecting these ghastly particles with the T2K experiment, which is a ...
