The new calorimeter for CERN’s CMS experiment is one of the most challenging engineering projects in particle physics of all time. Dave Barney explains how it will be pivotal to the success of the ...
Particles rush through a long tunnel in the Large Hadron Collider. Maximilien Brice/CERN, CC BY-SA When you push “start” on your microwave or computer, the device flips right on – but major physics ...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its associated experiments undergo an annual, multi-week reset and calibration procedure following a winter hibernation period, essential for accurate data ...
Measuring the energies of high-energy elementary particles offers a gateway to new discoveries in particle physics. Sehwook Lee, John Hauptman and Richard Wigmans describe how recent developments in ...
Only detectors with the greatest precision capabilities will measure up to the machine seeking to explore supersymmetry, dark matter, the Higgs mechanism, and new physics that hasn't yet been imagined ...
The world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), began running at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in 2009. The LHC spends most of its time ...
Physicist Jim Pivarski explains how particle detectors tell us about the smallest constituents of matter. Broadly speaking, a modern particle physics detector has three main pieces: (1) tracking, ...
