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 ...

CERN's accelerator operators have just fired the starting pistol for the last run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). At the end of June, four years of work will begin to transform the LHC into a high ...

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) ...

Estimating things that exist is generally easy, but when it comes to estimating things that do not exist, it's more difficult ...

The CMS collaboration compared high-transverse-momentum particle yields in oxygen–oxygen, neon–neon, xenon–xenon and lead–lead collisions.

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, are celebrating after achieving another world first today — proton collisions at 7 trillion electron volts (TeV). This significant ...

The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

To ensure seamless integration, CERN has built, in an above-ground test hall, a full-scale test stand called the Inner Triplet String (IT String), which mirrors the underground configuration ( CERN ...

Today marks the start of LHC Run 3. So what was #restartingLHC in April all about? Today CERN celebrates the start of #LHCRun3. For the next four years, the Large Hadron Collider will generate more ...

Theoretical and experimental physicists from around the world gathered last month at Quark Matter 2022 to discuss new developments in high energy heavy ion physics. The “29th International Conference ...
