LHC

The CDF experiment at Fermilab measured the mass of the W boson and came up with an answer that no one expected.

Neglected theories will wilt and wither but can bloom again with enough attention.

Scientists worried Higgs pairs would be too rare for LHC experiments to find. But by using machine learning, they now are getting tantalizingly close.

CERN’s accelerators and the LHC’s detectors have undergone major upgrades that will allow scientists to collect more data in the upcoming run than they did in the previous two runs combined.

New accelerator magnets are undergoing a rigorous training program to prepare them for the extreme conditions inside the upgraded Large Hadron Collider.

Scientists from Fermilab and other institutions hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized, with CMS, they may already have the detector to do it.

The ATLAS experiment at CERN sees possible evidence of quark-gluon plasma production during collisions between photons and heavy nuclei inside the Large Hadron Collider.

Scientists discovered a new particle by comparing data recorded at the Large Hadron Collider and the Tevatron.

From IRIS-HEP, April 10, 2021: Allison Hall, Fermilab LHC Physics Center researcher, is quoted in this story on the hardware upgrade to CERN’s Large LHC that will significantly boost the proton beams’ intensity.

What does it take to envision and build a seemingly impossible particle accelerator? The results of these discussions will shape the next 100 years of particle physics research.
