Particle collider

We investigate possible signatures of black hole events at the LHC in the hypothesis that such objects will not evaporate completely, but leave a stable remnant. For the purpose of de fining a reference scenario, we have employed the publicly available Monte Carlo generator CHARYBDIS2, in which the remnant's behavior is mostly determined by kinematic constraints and conservation of some quantum numbers, such as the baryon charge. Our fi ndings show that electrically neutral remnants are…

The Large Hadron collider is the most powerful particle collider and the largest machine in the world.

In two decades, Geneva may be encircled by the biggest scientific instrument ever built, as plans advance at CERN for an enormous particle accelerator that would help physicists delve further into the workings of the universe.

It is not true that particle physics - the underlying mechanisms of the universe - can only be understood after a long and difficult apprenticeship. To reach out and appeal to young students, Erik Johansson, a CERN researcher from Stockholm, prefers to cut through conventional formalism to reveal what happens when elementary particles collide.

Compact Muon Solenoid, part of the The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) from 1998 to 2008

This track is an example of simulated data modeled for the CMS detector on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, which will begin taking data in 2008. Here a Higgs boson is produced which decays into two jets of hadrons and two electrons. The lines represent the possible paths of particles produced by the proton-proton collision in the detector while the energy these particles deposit is shown in blue. | Image creator: Lucas Taylor

Using a $6 billion particle accelerator straddling the Swiss-French border, CERN physicists will attempt Tuesday to collide protons at an energy level unmatched at any other physics lab.

The Large Hadron Collider fired mankind into a "new era of science" in March last year producing the world's first highenergy particle collision.
