Maximum-energy collisions will take place at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) only after 2010. Following the recommendations of LHC staff given at a workshop last week in Chamonix, France, CERN ...

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

Today, my colleagues reported a substantial new advance in our understanding of the Higgs boson, the particle that is responsible for giving mass to fundamental subatomic particles. These results are ...

CERN has confirmed the first simultaneous acceleration of two separate proton beams around the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Occurring just after noon today (Central European Time), the result marks ...

But particle physicists will have to scale back the energies of their experiments for years. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) should yield its first data by Christmas, smashing protons at energies high ...

The Large Hadron Collider is now producing about a billion proton-proton collisions per second. The LHC is colliding protons at a faster rate than ever before, approximately 1 billion times per second ...

Well, they've finally done it, and so far there's no black hole originating in Geneva. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has released the first images of proton-to-proton ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- A new report published on Friday, 5 September, provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)'s switch-on, due on Wednesday next ...
