In 2016, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) approved the high-luminosity large hadron collider (HL-LHC) upgrade project. LHC is currently the largest and most powerful particle ...
The U.S. LHC Accelerator Program succeeded in testing a new superconducting high-field quadrupole magnet known as HQ02a last week in an international project to which Lawrence Berkeley National ...
The first superconducting magnet for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was lowered into the accelerator tunnel at 2.00 p.m. on Monday, 7th March. This is the first of the 1232 dipole magnets for the ...
The next generation of cutting-edge accelerator magnets is no longer just an idea. Recent tests revealed that the United States and CERN have successfully co-created a prototype superconducting ...
In a milestone for global science collaboration, CERN took delivery today of the first US-built contribution to what will be the world’s highest-energy particle accelerator. The superconducting magnet ...
During a routine test, two HL-LHC magnets unexpectedly flatlined. Was it just a coincidence, or did they have a common foe? The reading on the current-meter was gradually climbing. Until it wasn’t. In ...
Contrary to some hysterical warnings of doom, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) did not create a black hole and destroy Earth when it came online in 2008. Since then, the LHC has identified the Higgs ...
New research using a decommissioned section of the beam pipe from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN has bought scientists closer than ever before to test whether magnetic monopoles exist.
In a race against the clock, CERN engineers and technicians pulled together to find and fix a leak inside the Large Hadron Collider. In the wee hours of July 17, an old tree in the Swiss countryside ...
To better understand how our universe works, researchers are upgrading the most powerful particle accelerator in the world: the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Today, a team at the Department of Energy’s ...
In 1929, Ernest Orlando Lawrence invented the cyclotron: a compact, efficient particle accelerator that used magnets. Two ...
