Tag: LHC
Seven experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) use detectors to analyse the myriad of particles produced by collisions in the accelerator. These experiments are run by collaborations of scientists from institutes all over the world. Each experiment is distinct and characterised by its detectors.

Accelerator Report: LHC protons outpacing the Easter tradition
The LHC has restarted and both beams have been circulating in the machine since 8 April, meaning that the start of the LHC beam commissioning during Easter is apparently not a constant of nature

Accelerator Report: The excellent 2024 LHC run ended abruptly
The LHC was scheduled to conclude its outstanding 2024 run on 25 November, but a massive magnet quench brought it to an end two days early
