  1. #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.

  2. CERN Experiments Detect Signs of the Universe’s Primordial Matter

  3. The Large Hadron Collider is being upgraded so that it can unlock the secrets of the Higgs boson.

    Deep beneath the French-Swiss border, the world’s largest scientific instrument has fallen silent.

    After years of smashing proton particles together at nearly the speed of light, Cern’s Large Hadron Collider has stopped operations and entered a long shutdown for major upgrade works to allow it to uncover signs of new physics.

  4. @rootsandcalluses Nun, wenn eine fachlich herausragende Person darstellt, dass und unter welchen Voraussetzungen #KI in ihrem Fach brauchbare Ergebnisse zeitigt & einen wissenschaftlichen Mehrwert bringt, werde ich dieser Person nicht mit der Stromkostenrechnung kommen (genausowenig wie ich das beim #LargeHadronCollider tue). Und da Wissenschaft m.E. OpenSource sein sollte und spezialisierte Modelle nur mit wissenschaftl. Daten trainiert werden, stellt sich mir da auch nicht die Eigentumsfrage.

    "Farewell, atom-smashing Large Hadron Collider

    After 18 years of discovery, it's goodbye LHC and hello High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider.

    (. . .)

    It’s difficult to overstate just how much the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has helped advance our understanding of the universe. Since its debut in 2008, the 16.7-mile-wide subatomic smasher buried underneath Switzerland proved the existence of the Higgs boson particle (aka the God particle), highlighted the perplexing nature of muons, and even measured antimatter. Apocalyptic conspiracy theories to the contrary, it expanded on key concepts in quantum physics, while charting a path forward for researchers around the world.

    Still, all good things must come to an end. On June 29, CERN announced that the LHC had officially entered 'Long Shutdown 3,' thus ceasing operations after 18 years of remarkable work. But in keeping with some of the most mindbending quantum physics concepts, the LHC is technically both dead and not dead at all.

    Instead of a total decommission, the collider is now on schedule to begin receiving upgrades that will transform it into an even more powerful version of itself. The Large Hadron Collider is dead—long live the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HiLumi LHC).

    'The LHC has exceeded every expectation,' CERN Director for Accelerators and Technology Oliver Brüning said in a recent statement. 'Today we say goodbye to the LHC as we have known it, while preparing to welcome its successor…which will extend this scientific adventure far into the future.'

  6. The Large Hadron Collider goes offline to make room for its enhanced successor.

    Physicists at CERN are still bidding goodbye to the LHC, per a Monday announcement from the lab, but this is very much a “the king is dead, long live the king” sort of moment, as the four-year shutdown will result in the completion of the High-Luminosity LHC, or HiLumi LHC, not a full-fledged replacement.

  7. Large Hadron Collider shuts down for a smashing upgrade
    After nearly 18 years of operation, highlighted by the detection of the elusive Higgs boson, Europe's CERN physics research center says it's bidding "Farewell" to the Large Hadron Collider. But it's actually more like "See You Later, Accelerator!"

  8. CERN bids farewell to the LHC and enters Long Shutdown 3: home.cern/cern-bids-farewell-t - the #LargeHadronCollider is embarking on its most ambitious upgrade yet, between now and 2030.

  9. Exotic #particles that could finally break the #StandardModel
    ‘Penguin’ decays from #CERN’s latest #LargeHadronCollider experiment hint at weird new #physics. It concerns the decay of particles called #Bmesons into other particles. The result, which has been accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters, is one of the last remaining anomalies for particle physicists, who look for new physics in the debris from proton-proton collisions that turn energy into matter.

  10. I'm sure it will ALL BE FINE.

    What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

    Mind you, if you consider the #LargeHadronCollider caused this glitch into a parallel universe in the first place, might this reverse it?

    One can only hope.

  11. Schwerer Proton-Bruder nach 50 Jahren nachgewiesen

    Am Teilchenbeschleuniger LHC am CERN wurde das sogenannte Ξcc⁺-Teilchen nachgewiesen – ein protonenähnliches Baryon mit vierfacher Protonenmasse.

  12. CERN adds a new particle to subatomic menagerie
    The Large Hadron Collider's subatomic discoveries didn't stop with the Higgs boson: This week, scientists at Europe's CERN research center announced that the collider's LHCb experiment has detected a doubly charmed particle that's like a proton, but four times as weighty.

  13. Everytime our timeline gets that much worse, I can't help but think that maybe we should just start tossing things into the #LHC just to see if we can't find that pathway to a utopian timeline that we were obviously robbed of in 2016.

  15. Wouldn't it be cool to say that your home was heated by the Large Hadron Collider? A new blogpost on CERN's website says that is exactly what's happening in the French town of Ferney-Voltaire. Here's how it works.

  16. The man taking over the Large Hadron Collider – only to switch it off.

    Mark Thomson, a professor of experimental particle physics at the University of Cambridge, has landed one of the most coveted jobs in global science.

    As the next head of Cern he backs a massive replacement for the world’s largest machine to investigate the mysteries of the universe.
