The Large Hadron Collider is entering a rare quiet spell, with its proton collisions halted so engineers can prepare the machine for a more powerful future. The shutdown is not a sign of trouble so ...

A novel beam diagnostic instrument developed by researchers in the University of Liverpool's QUASAR Group has been approved for use in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's most powerful ...

Seventeen miles of underground tunnel, thousands of superconducting magnets, and protons whipped to a fraction below light speed have given the Large Hadron Collider a reputation that borders on myth.

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 ...

The future circular collider at CERN, intended to probe the properties of the Higgs boson in 20 years' time, excites physicists. Yet its construction, beneath the surface of France and Switzerland, is ...

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 ...

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult. This is something physicists from Poland and the UK are well aware of. To ...
