Cern gears up for more discoveries 10 years after 'God particle' find (The Guardian)

With the Higgs boson already in the bag, the Large Hadron Collider begins another period of data collection.

“There is a lot of scope in the Higgs sector,” she said. In a nutshell, it is the interaction of fundamental particles with this field, interactions first thought to have occurred shortly after the big bang as the universe expanded and cooled, which gives them mass. “The Higgs field explains why atoms exist, why we exist. It’s really a unique moment in the life of the scientist.” But the story is far from over. But for Prof Daniela Bortoletto the memories are as fresh as ever.

Decade After God Particle Discovery, CERN Is Ready To Unravel ... (ABP Live)

CERN is gearing up for more discoveries a decade after the discovery of Higgs boson or God Particle. The world's most powerful accelerator is once again ...

Andreas Hoecker, spokesperson of the ATLAS collaboration, said the strengths of the Higgs boson interactions with matter and force particles will be measured to unprecedented precision. The Higgs boson must exist for the Standard Model to be correct. Live commentary from the CERN control centre will explain the operation stages that take proton beams from injection into the LHC to collisions for particle physics at the four interaction points. The studies performed by ATLAS and CMS will aim to understand new effects in different processes predicted by LHCb. The Standard Model of Physics describes how various particles make the universe. This asymmetry between matter and antimatter is known as matter-antimatter asymmetry, and one of the biggest challenges in physics is to figure out what happened to the antimatter. According to the official website of the Nobel Prize organisation, the Higgs mechanism, that explains how particles acquire mass, is what managed to rescue the Standard Model. The measurement precision of numerous known processes will be improved because previously inaccessible processes can be observed. The LHC will work continuously for four years at a record energy of 13.6 trillion electron volts (TeV), and will provide greater precision and discovery potential than ever before. With the help of these changes, the LHC experiments can collect significantly larger data samples, with data of higher quality compared to those obtained in previous runs. The ATLAS and CMS detectors are expected to record more collisions during Run 3 than in the two previous runs combined. CERN is gearing up for more discoveries a decade after the discovery of the Higgs boson or God Particle. Since April, beams have been circulating in CERN's accelerator complex.

THE European Organization for Nuclear Research is celebrating its tenth anniversary by restarting its Large Hadron Collider on July 5.The European org.

I really hope you don't rip a hole in space/time, create a multiverse or start a real life stranger things." The discovery of Higgs was vital to the Standard Model - the theory that describes the web of particles, forces and interactions that make up the universe. "I remember with emotion the day of the announcement, a day of immense joy for the worldwide particle physics community and for all the people who worked tirelessly over decades to make this discovery possible." Reflecting on the 10th anniversary of the discovery, Cern's Director-General and the project leader of the Atlas experiment at the time, Fabiola Gianotti, said: "The discovery of the Higgs boson was a monumental milestone in particle physics. "T-MINUS 2 hours for the#cernatlas project tests their hadrin collider. "It marked both the end of a decades-long journey of exploration and the beginning of a new era of studies of this very special particle. Andreas Hoecker, spokesman of the Atlas collaboration, said: "We will measure the strengths of the Higgs boson interactions with matter and force particles to unprecedented precision, and we will further our searches for Higgs boson decays to dark matter particles as well as searches for additional Higgs bosons." In October 2016, he joined the Department of Computer Science at Oxford University as a professorial research fellow and as a fellow of Christ Church, one of the Oxford college. They will also study the properties of matter under extreme temperature and density, and will be searching for candidates for dark matter and for other new phenomena. According to theHouse of Switzerland, CERN'slocation was chosen: "to host CERN to a large extent because of its neutrality and its safeguards against the misappropriation of scientific research results for military purposes." Higgs boson big anniversaryCERNis set for a series of events starting on July 3, 2022, with the first celebrations of the ten-year anniversary of the discovery of the Higgs boson particle. The LHC, which is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, is at the center of conspiracies surrounding CERN, with people sharing their theories regarding the "portal" that will open after two high-energy particle beams are set to travel at close to the speed of light before they collide.

The Future Circular Collider is an even bigger machine aimed at ensuring the seamless continuation of the world’s particle physics programme in the post-LHC era. But the collider itself is the largest and most complex machine ever built by man. The Data Centre has over 100 petabytes of this data permanently archived on tape. The collision of the two beams generates temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the hottest part of the sun, which is the core. CERN built LHC between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists from hundreds of universities and laboratories. The world’s largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is back in action since April for its third run after a three-year break for upgrades.

Insane conspiracy takes off about July 5 (NEWS.com.au)

An announcement from the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) has put serious wind up apocalyptic conspiracy theorists online, ...

“A lot of people think the last time CERN was turned on, we were shifted to a different timeline and reality. “Is the Higgs boson really a fundamental particle or is it a composite?” he asked. “Particle physics does not simply want to understand the how — our goal is to understand the why,” he said. “The Higgs boson is related to some of the most profound open questions in fundamental physics today,” said CERN director-general Fabiola Gianotti, who first announced the boson’s discovery a decade ago. While she is correct the collider will be run at higher speeds, evidence is seriously lacking as to if the artificial collision can indeed “shift” humans into a “new reality”. One woman bizarrely claimed drinking over the 4th of July weekend would put those at risk of “falling behind” as the universe shifts to a “new timeline” as a result of the Hadron Collider.

LHC Run 3: physics at record energy starts tomorrow (ATLAS Experiment at CERN)

The Large Hadron Collider is ready to once again start delivering proton collisions to experiments, this time at an unprecedented energy of 13.6 TeV, ...

In addition to the main lead–lead runs, a short period with oxygen collisions will be included for the first time, with the goal of exploring the emergence of QGP-like effects in small colliding systems. “Data acquired during Run 3 with our brand new detector will allow us to improve the precision by a factor of two and to confirm or exclude possible deviations from lepton flavour universality,” says Chris Parkes, spokesperson of the LHCb collaboration. These will be the target of specific studies performed by ATLAS and CMS. “This complementary approach is essential; if we’re able to confirm new effects in this way it will be a major discovery in particle physics,” says Luca Malgeri, spokesperson of the CMS collaboration. Scientists will study the properties of matter under extreme temperature and density, and will also be searching for candidates for dark matter and for other new phenomena, either through direct searches or – indirectly – through precise measurements of properties of known particles. Compared to Run 1, in which the Higgs was discovered with 12 inverse femtobarns, now in Run 3 we will be delivering 280 inverse femtobarns . This is a significant increase, paving the way for new discoveries,” says director for accelerators and technology Mike Lamont. A new period of data taking begins on Tuesday, 5 July for the experiments at the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), after more than three years of upgrade and maintenance work.

CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research is turning on its powerful particle accelerator for the first time in three years.

The collider has not produced any collisions so far. When the Large Hadron Collider was first switched on near Geneva, Switzerland on September 10 2008, people began theorising that it would create microscopic black holes that would start sucking surrounding matter faster and faster until it causes the world to end. After being shut down for upgrade and maintenance work, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment is set to begin a new period of data after three years.

"This is a significant increase, paving the way for new discoveries," Lamont said. This time around the proton beams will be narrowed to less than 10 microns – a human hair is around 70 microns thick – to increase the collision rate, he added.

It didn’t take long before many were convinced that on July 5th when CERN turns on their collider, the world would witness either the creation of a black hole or the opening of a portal to another dimension. The July 5th ignition of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider is no different, as a fake report which detailed an alleged black hole accident recently made the rounds.

CERN is firing up its Large Hadron Collider at record energy levels ... (ZDNet)

CERN lights up the Large Hadron Collider for Run 3, a four year continuous run after its second long shutdown in 2018.

The beams collide in the machine at four points or "detectors" called ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LGCb, each of which focusses on measuring different types of hadron particles. "We're looking forward to measurements of the Higgs boson decay to second-generation particles such as muons. Hence the need for accelerator like LHC with its 27km circumference, which accelerates hadron particles (such as lead, xenon and oxygen ions at different levels of the mass spectrum) in a way that forms two beams traveling in opposite directions, almost at the speed of light.

"In addition to the new hardware, ATLAS upgraded large parts of its software, simulation and computing environment to boost performance, save resources and enable it for use with heterogeneous computing systems," concludes Andreas. Of course, a centrepiece of the ATLAS physics programme remains the Higgs boson. These are but a few of the scientific highlights expected from Run 3. If it is made of particles, as most physicists expect, these may interact with protons or the Higgs boson and be produced in LHC collisions.” Dark matter is invisible and can only be spotted when produced with other, visible particles. The return of LHC beams comes after more than three years of upgrade and maintenance work, with new detector systems and electronic infrastructure installed 100 metres underground in the ATLAS cavern. We have prepared a broad scientific programme, taking advantage of new upgrades to our experiment."

Physicists François Englert and Peter Higgs first theorized the existence of the Higgs boson in the 1960s. Scientists now believe that the Higgs boson is the particle that gives all matter its mass. Physics' Standard Model lays out the basics of how elementary particles and forces interact in the universe. But of course the answer is in the hands of nature, and it depends on how nature answers open questions in fundamental physics," said Fabiola Gianotti, CERN Director-General, in a video posted on CERN's website. That would be the best result. It works by smashing tiny particles together to allow scientists to observe them and see what's inside.

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), which is designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, "is aiming at a staggering fifty-fold increase in the number of recorded collisions," according to CERN. The four big LHC experiments have been updated to cope with the results of the upgrade. The LHC was first fired up in 2010 and this latest activity is expected to last for almost four years at a record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts (TeV).
