Inside high-energy proton collisions, quarks and gluons briefly form a dense, boiling state before cooling into ordinary ...

Proton collisions at the LHC appear wildly chaotic, but new data reveal a surprising underlying order. The findings confirm that a basic rule of quantum mechanics holds true even in extreme particle ...

When two high-energy protons from the counter-circulating beams of the LHC collide, the entropy of the interacting quarks and gluons is virtually identical to the entropy of the hadrons that ...

Matter and antimatter should have completely wiped each other out eons ago, leaving the Universe a very empty place. Obviously that didn't happen. Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) may ...

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

The Large Hadron Collider is heading for another extended shutdown, a planned pause that will take the world’s most powerful accelerator offline just as its current run reaches full stride. Far from ...

As upgrades enable the LHC to produce more and more particle collisions, physicists are using machine learning to keep up with the growing task of sorting through everything. In 2010, Mike Williams ...

This video looks at how Big Data is handled from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC produces millions of collisions every second in each detector, generating approximately one petabyte of data ...

The beam dynamics of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) underpin its ability to push the frontiers of high-energy physics by maintaining intensely focused particle streams and ensuring their safe, stable ...
