Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light ...

Physicists have recently detected a rare type of particle resulting from proton collisions within the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a remarkable feat achieved between 2016 and 2018. According to ...

LONDON — The Large Hadron Collider housed at CERN (Geneva, Switzerland) has been re-opened and two beams of protons have been brought into a collision with an energy of 7 tera electron-volts. The ...

Particle accelerators like the LHC require intricate beam dump systems to safely dispose of high-energy particles after each run. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world’s most powerful ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

For the first time, by studying quantum correlations between triplets of secondary particles created during high-energy collisions in the LHC accelerator, it has been possible to observe their ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated ...
