The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, pictured above, surpassed its luminosity target during this year’s run. CERN The Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) ...

The record-breaking performance of the Tevatron collider at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is pushing the search for dark matter, supersymmetric particles and extra ...

In our story about how protons find their way into the LHC, we spent a fair bit of time emphasizing the importance of the machine's luminosity, which is a rough measure of how many collisions it ...

Zooming around the LHC, colliding at unprecedentedly high energies: 8 trillion electron volts total, in comparison with last year’s 7 TeV. The ultimate goal is to reach an amazing 14 TeV, although ...

View of the Large Hadron Collider. It took only five weeks for the operators of the LHC to reach 2256 particle bunches circulating in each direction of the accelerator, during the ongoing 2017 run.

The luminosity and rotation speed changed significantly. There is an inverse relationship between rotational speed and period; a shorter period indicates faster rotation. The acceleration rate of ...
