Muons are a key subatomic particle in the discovery of new physics, but after particle collision, they’re difficult to track.

Scientists at CERN have made a massive achievement after they began powering a 312-foot ...

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has begun its first-ever collisions of oxygen ions, in the latest attempt to understand the early universe. The LHC is largely famous for its proton-proton collisions, ...

The CMS collaboration have used advanced machine learning techniques to search for new particles in jets produced by proton-proton collisions at the LHC A proton-proton collision producing multiple ...

For centuries, great thinkers of the Greco-Roman, Islamic, Medieval, and even early Enlightenment worlds investigated the possibilities of alchemy—the process of transforming base metals (i.e. lead) ...

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN have successfully transmuted lead into gold — not by alchemy, but by smashing heavy ions together at nearly the speed of light. The process, ...

Recent findings from research we have been carrying out at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at Cern in Geneva suggest that we might be closing in on signs of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these ...

In a recent study, ALICE scientists measured the way that lead ions colliding in the LHC sometimes transform into gold and other new nuclei. As a small child, physicist Chiara Oppedisano read the ...

ALICE experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, where KU nuclear physicists helped detect gold, briefly, during ultra-peripheral collisions. LAWRENCE — Nuclear physicists working at the Large Hadron ...
