HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project receives approval to move full-speed-ahead from Department of Energy
…crucial components. The new instruments will enable a giant leap in the number of particle collisions at the future HL-LHC, a 10-fold increase compared to the current LHC. The high-luminosity…
HiLumi LHC: full-scale tests start
…Hadron Collider upgrade at CERN. The newly developed and tested magnets will focus the beam at the CMS and ATLAS interaction points, increasing the number of collisions for the experiments…
Fermilabβs accomplishments highlight discovery and innovation in 2025
…to another record-breaking year for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world. This year, CMS recorded a total integrated luminosity — the number of particles…
Lead lab selected for next-generation cosmic microwave background experiment
…itself – the detector technology has already been proven in earlier experiments, for example – but the scale at which the technology will be deployed, including the sheer number of…
Experiment uses quantum techniques to stimulate photons, enhancing search for dark matter
…used a qubit to do both, preparing a quantum state of light that stimulates the creation of photons, and then using the qubit to probe the exact number of photons…
New DUNE technology put to the ultimate stress test
…liquid-argon time projection chambers, a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. “When a neutrino interacts with an argon atom, it generates a number of charged…
TOTEM and DΓ collaborations announce odderon discovery
…“This result probes the deepest features of the theory of quantum chromodynamics, notably that gluons interact between themselves and that an odd number of gluons are able to be “colourless”,…
MICE experiment demonstrates key technique for future muon colliders
…energy for the creation of new particles. One measure of the discovery potential of an accelerator is luminosity, which quantifies how many collisions happen per second. For a given number…
Safety in robots: Mu2eβs automated handler
…direct conversion into an electron, and for this it needs to make a lot of muons. In fact, the number of muons researchers need to see (nearly 1 billion billion,…
NOvA turns its eyes to the skies
…The number of muons is affected by atmospheric conditions, and the total number of muons reaching underground detectors is higher in the summer. Summer’s less dense atmosphere favors the production…
