CERN will restart its Large Hadron Collider on July 5th but the upcoming test has people linking it to Stranger Things.

But progress made since 2012 to determine its properties have allowed physicists to make big steps forward in our understanding of the universe.

A decade on from the “monumental” discovery of the Higgs boson – the “God particle” that gives matter mass and holds the physical ...

Heres a look at what time is CERNs Large Hadron Collider (LHC) going to be turned on as the experiment resumes after three years of break.

Geneva, 4 July 2022. Ten years ago, on July 4 2012, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) announced the discovery of a new particle with features consistent with those of the Higgs boson predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. The discovery was a landmark in the history of science and captured the world’s attention. One year later it won François Englert and Peter Higgs the Nobel Prize in Physics for their prediction made decades earlier, together wi...

NYUAD, University of Sharjah and UAE University to take part in ATLAS experiment

ABU DHABI, 5th December 2021 (WAM) - NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) will represent the United Arab Emirates (UAE) along with two other universities, the University of Sharjah and the United Arab Emirates University, as a Cluster Institution in the ATLAS experiment, one of the largest collaborative efforts ever realised in science. ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear and Particle Physics Research (CERN), one of the world&...

The High-Luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will dramatically increase the rate of collisions in the ATLAS experiment. While offering an opportunity for physicists to explore some of the rarest processes in the universe, the large collision rate brings new challenges – in particular, higher radiation levels and significantly more data. The ATLAS collaboration is adapting to deal with these challenges by upgrading all parts of its detectors with new, state-of-the-art instr...

 E-Mail Muons, particles akin to electrons, have kepts physicists heads spinning for more than a decade, because an experimental measurement of their magnetic properties (1) disagrees with theory. Could this be caused by unknown particles or forces? A new theoretical calculation of this parameter, involving CNRS physicists and published in the journal Nature, has reduced the discrepancy with the experimental measurement. The debate nevertheless continues. -- For over 10 years, measurement o...
