Large Hadron Collider reaches its first stable beams in 2024
On Friday 5 April, at 6.25 p.m., the LHC Engineer-in-Charge at the CERN Control Centre (CCC) announced that stable beams were back in the Large Hadron Collider, marking the official start of the 2024 physics data-taking season. The third year of LHC Run 3 promises six months of 13.6 TeV proton collisions at an even higher luminosity than before, meaning more collisions for the experiments to ...

Accelerators - CERN
Accelerators use electromagnetic fields to accelerate and steer particles. Radiofrequency cavities boost the particle beams, while magnets focus the beams and bend their trajectory.. In a circular accelerator, the particles repeat the same circuit for as long as …

New schedule for CERN's accelerators
2024年10月8日 · CERN has revised its schedule for its accelerator complex. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is currently in its third period of physics data taking (Run 3), and this will now be extended until July 2026. The third Long Shutdown (LS3) will then begin, seven and a half months later than originally planned. CERN’s other accelerators will continue to operate throughout July and August 2026 and ...
LHC experiments at CERN observe quantum entanglement at the …
2024年9月18日 · Quantum entanglement is a fascinating feature of quantum physics – the theory of the very small. If two particles are quantum-entangled, the state of one particle is tied to that of the other, no matter how far apart the particles are. This mind-bending phenomenon, which has no analogue in classical physics, has been observed in a wide variety of systems and has found several important ...
Physics - CERN
CERN's main focus is particle physics – the study of the fundamental constituents of matter – but the physics programme at the laboratory is much broader, ranging from nuclear to high-energy physics, from studies of antimatter to the possible effects of cosmic rays on clouds.
Superconductivity - CERN
Superconducting heroes despite the zeroes. Below a certain “critical” temperature, materials undergo transition into the superconducting state, characterized by two basic properties: firstly, they offer no resistance to the passage of electrical current.
