#CERN shutters the #LargeHadronCollider for a major transformation
The particle smasher famously enabled discovery of the #HiggsBoson
The upcoming #HighLuminosityLHC will feature a dramatic increase in collision rate compared with the #LHC. That’s thanks to a boost to the collider’s luminosity, a measure of how tightly crammed the protons in its beams are. The #HLLHC will have up to 10 times the luminosity of its predecessor.

The #CERN #IT Department pushes the boundaries of innovation and technology, focusing on serving not only CERN’s IT requirements but also those of the larger scientific community.

For #CONNECT46, we interviewed the Head of department Enrica Porcari about her career, her team’s work and her take on the future of international collaboration within the #HighEnergyPhysics community: https://connect.geant.org/2024/06/11/connect-interview-enrica-porcari-head-of-information-technology-cern

Thanks to multi-domain shared #spectrum, the Italian #research & #education network #GARR and the pan-European network @geant have successfully connected two data centres over 1000 km apart: the national computing centre CNAF of #INFN in Bologna, and #CERN in Geneva, with a capacity of 1.6 Tbps and a latency of just 9.5 ms: https://connect.geant.org/2023/09/05/from-geneva-to-bologna-in-9-5-milliseconds
