LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world and this upgrade project will increase its ability to produce more data by making its beams more intense.

It sounds scary, and it is. Building the LHC in a tunnel was a prudent move. The particle beam could drill a hole in just about anything, although the most likely victim would be the apparatus itself.

The European physics laboratory CERN is planning to build a mega collider by 2070. Critics say the plan could lead to its ...

The upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider will allow scientists to better study known phenomena and to search for new ones. Deep beneath the Franco-Swiss border lives the Large Hadron Collider, a ...

In the LHC, beams of protons collide at a center-of-mass energy of 13.6 TeV, the highest energy particle collisions in the world. The LHC provides the potential for many discoveries and precision ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment conducted at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), scientists have attempted to discover if the universe's heaviest ...

There's no machine on Earth quite like it. “The first time I ever saw it I remember walking in and just being stunned,” Monica Dunford, a physicist who works at the LHC, said in the trailer ...

At CERN, beams of particles are accelerated faster and faster, just like a relay race (where each runner is faster than the ...

More specifically, the team operating the LHC's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS ... That is because, as Earth rotates, the direction of the proton beams generated for particle collisions in the ...
