The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating …

In December 1994, CERN Council voted to approve the construction of the LHC and in October 1995, the LHC technical design report was published. Contributions from Japan, the USA, …

Jun 5, 2025 · 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 …

6 days ago · The first proton–proton physics block of the 2025 LHC schedule concluded on 19 June at 6.00 a.m. It delivered 24 fb-1 of integrated luminosity to the ATLAS and CMS …

The smallest experiments on the LHC are TOTEM and LHCf, which focus on "forward particles" – protons or heavy ions that brush past each other rather than meeting head on when the …

The High-Luminosity LHC, which should be operational in mid-2030, will allow physicists to study known mechanisms in greater detail, such as the Higgs boson, and observe rare new …

May 8, 2025 · In a paper published in Physical Review Journals, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of lead into gold in CERN’s Large Hadron …

Beams of particles from the LHC collide at the centre of the ATLAS detector making collision debris in the form of new particles, which fly out from the collision point in all directions. Six …

On Friday 5 April, at 6.25 p.m., the LHC Engineer-in-Charge at the CERN Control Centre (CCC) announced that stable beams were back in the Large Hadron Collider, marking the official start …
