LHC

The announcement on July 4 was just one part of the story. Take a peek behind the scenes of the discovery of the Higgs boson.

It’s less of a collision and more of a symphony.

From The New York Times, June 19, 2017: Fermilab scientist Joel Butler is quoted in this article on physicists monitoring the Large Hadron Collider are seeking clues to a theory that will answer deeper questions about the cosmos.

The beam pipes of the LHC need to be so clean, even air molecules count as dirt.

Protons are colliding once again in the Large Hadron Collider.

Boston University physicist Tulika Bose explains why there’s more than one large, general-purpose particle detector at the Large Hadron Collider.

Particles seen by the ALICE experiment hint at the formation of quark-gluon plasma during proton-proton collisions.

Experiments at CERN investigate antiparticles.

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.
