PR20.10 – 08.11.2010 CERN completes transition to lead-ion running at the LHC Geneva, 8 November 2010. Four days is all it took for the LHC operations team at CERN* to complete the transition from protons to lead ions in the LHC. After extracting the final proton beam of 2010 on 4 November, commissioning the lead-ion [...]
PR19.10 – 04.11.2010 The LHC enters a new phase Geneva, 4 November 2010. Proton running for 2010 in the LHC at CERN[1] came to a successful conclusion today at 08:00 CET. Since the end of March, when the first collisions occurred at a total energy of 7 TeV, the machine and experiment teams have achieved [...]
Geneva 30 March 2010. 7 TeV beams collided in the LHC at 13:06 CEST, marking the start of the LHC research programme. Particle physicists around the world are looking forward to a potentially rich harvest of new physics as the LHC begins its first long run at an energy three and a half times higher [...]
LHC sets new record – accelerates beam to 3.5 TeV Geneva, 19 March 2010. At just after 5:20 this morning, two 3.5 TeV proton beams successfully circulated in the Large Hadron Collider for the first time. This is the highest energy yet achieved in a particle accelerator, and an important step on the way to [...]
CERN – HVA SKJER? Vi husker vel alle at det i media høsten 2009 med store overskrifter ble varslet om nært forestående dommedag og /eller konstruksjon av sorte hull som ville sluke jorden. Vel, jorden består fremdeles, så det ville være interessant å få et innblikk i hva CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) egentlig [...]
