Large Hadron Collider

From The New York Times, May 28, 2018: At CERN in Switzerland and Fermilab in Illinois, there is always a sense of discovery — about the past, present and future.

If two protons collide at 99.9999991 percent the speed of light, do they make a sound?

Fermilab helps build a tracker more sensitive than ever before for the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider.

It doesn’t seem like collisions of particles with no mass should be able to produce the “mass-giving” boson, the Higgs. But every other second at the LHC, they do.

Symmetry goes inside the CERN Control Center on restart day.

From the BBC, March 30, 2018: Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer talks with the BBC about DUNE, the value of neutrino research, the Large Hadron Collider, and the construction of a Higgs factory.

The LHC is one of the coldest places on the planet.

Scientists are using cutting-edge machine-learning techniques to analyze physics data.

In the Large Hadron Collider, protons become new particles, which become energy and light, which become data.

For the first time, the Large Hadron Collider is accelerating xenon nuclei for experiments.
