Date Time TOTEM and DØ collaborations announce odderon discovery Part of the TOTEM installation in the LHC tunnel 220 m downstream from the CMS experiment (Image: CERN) The TOTEM collaboration at the LHC, together with the DØ collaboration at the Tevatron collider at Fermilab, have announced the discovery of the odderon – an elusive state of three fundamental particles called gluons that was predicted almost 50 years ago. The result was presented on Friday 5 March during a meeting at CERN, and follows the joint submission in December 2020 of a CERN/Fermilab pr...

Date Time A New Era of Accelerator Science Even before the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland detected the elusive subatomic particle known as the Higgs boson in 2012, scientists around the world were already hard at work planning for the next particle accelerator. Arguably some of the most sophisticated scientific machines on the planet, these engineering marvels take decades to plan, build, test, and start. Such is the case for the proposed International Linear Collider, or ILC. “To fully understand the Higgs particle’s role in nature and go beyond our current theories, we need ...
