Before CERN had the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), that famous tunnel under France and Switzerland was home to the Large Electron–Positron collider (LEP). It was switched on 30 years ago in 1989. and ...

The Large Hadron Collider is just that — large. The particle accelerator is the world’s biggest, and inside its nearly 17-mile-ring of superconducting magnets, particles collide at nearly the speed of ...

The Large Hadron Collider is the most advanced and complex machine ever built by humanity, and it's allowed us to study the inner workings of the universe in unprecedented ways. However, there's only ...

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, more commonly known as CERN, has approved an ambitious plan to build a 62-mile super-collider in the pursuit of expanding humanity's knowledge of ...

A lot of the science from our accelerators is published long after collisions end, so storing experimental data for future physicists is crucial. About a billion pairs of particles collide every ...

After the successful initiation of two new detectors, scientists have begun to envision an expanded suite of neutrino experiments at the Large Hadron Collider. CERN physicist Jamie Boyd enters a ...

The LHCb experiment has taken a leap in precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In a new paper submitted to Physical Review Letters and currently available on the arXiv preprint server, ...

The first paper on proton collisions in the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - designed to provide the highest energy ever explored with particle accelerators - is published online this week in ...
