A tiny droplet of the early universe?
Particles seen by the ALICE experiment hint at the formation of quark-gluon plasma during proton-proton collisions.
Superhero plan to time travel in Large Hadron Collider isn’t sci-fi
From Inverse, March 9, 2017: In the latest issue of the Justice League-Power Rangers crossover comic, superheroes gather at the mouth of what seems to be the LHC to discuss how to use it to jump across universes. A Vanderbilt University scientist and others believe LHC collisions could produce the Higgs singlet, which had the power to travel back and forth in time.
A new gem inside the CMS detector
This month U.S. scientists embedded sophisticated new instruments in the heart of a Large Hadron Collider experiment.
A strength test for the strong force
New research could tell us about particle interactions in the early universe and even hint at new physics.
LHC smashes old collision records
The Large Hadron Collider is now producing about a billion proton-proton collisions per second.
The lesson from CERN: Why scientists should celebrate getting it wrong
From Chicago Tribune, Sept. 1, 2016: There is little as exhilarating in science as a group of really smart people slapping their foreheads and admitting, hey, we got it wrong. Sorry, our bad.
China, Japan, CERN: Who will host the next LHC?
From Nature, Aug. 19, 2016: The next steps for particle physics now seem less certain, as discussions at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) suggest. Much hinges on whether the LHC unearths phenomena that fall outside the standard model of particle physics and whether China’s plans to build an LHC successor move forward.
