LHC

The Large Hadron Collider is now producing about a billion proton-proton collisions per second.

What’s it like to be part of an experiment collaboration in the weeks and days before a big announcement?

Possible signs of new particle seem to have washed out in an influx of new data.

The Higgs appeared in the second run of the LHC about twice as fast as it did in the first.

CERN’s Director General is enthusiastic about the progress and prospects of the LHC research program, but it’s not the only thing on her plate.

From Gizmodo, July 26, 2016: Ever wanted to build a particle accelerator in your basement? Well if one University of Liverpool PhD student gets his way, you may soon be able to do that – with LEGO.

Researchers found four new particles made of the same four building blocks.

Higgs bosons should mass-produce bottom quarks. So why is it so hard to see it happening?

A partnership between three national U.S. laboratories and CERN to upgrade the LHC has yielded the strongest accelerator magnet ever created.

GeekWire, Jan. 6, 2016: The Higgs boson is the biggest find of the century in particle physics, but for the past few weeks, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider have been considering whether there’s a mystery that’s even bigger. Or at least more massive. Fermilab’s Don Lincoln is quoted in this article.
