In a year where the LHC delivered nearly as much data in a week as it did previously in a month, the ATLAS experiment went from strength to strength
In the recent lead-proton run at the LHC, the Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment took proton-ion data for the first time
The Large Hadron Collider beauty experiment took proton-ion data for the first time last month
Register before 28 February
The proton-lead run was an unqualified success and a testament to painstaking preparation by the ion team
On Saturday at 8.25am the crew in the CERN Control Centre extracted the beams from the LHC, ending the machine’s first three-year running period
From photonic crystals to fibre-optic sensors, the KT Fund is supporting new initiatives to disseminate technology to society
The CERN Data Centre has collected more than 100 petabytes of data – equivalent to roughly 700 years of full HD-quality movies
At 7.24am, the shift crew in the CERN Control Centre extracted the beams from the Large Hadron Collider, ending the machine’s first three-year run
