Tag: LHC Run 2

In early 2013, the LHC shut down for two years of planned maintenance and repairs. In 2015 the world’s most powerful accelerator began its physics programme once again for Run 2, this time with proton beams colliding 13 TeV — almost double the LHC’s previous energy. This new energy frontier will allow researchers to probe new boundaries in our understanding of the fundamental structure of matter.

    ATLAS sets record limits on Higgs boson’s self-interaction

    The result is based on over 300 inverse femtobarns of proton–proton collision data, which is equivalent to 30 000 trillion collisions
