TODAY scientists will re-start the world's largest and most powerful particle accelarator to test the extremes of physics - after it was shut down thr.

"T-MINUS 2 hours for the #cern atlas project tests their hadron collider. I really hope you don't rip a hole in space/time, create a mulitverse or start a real life stranger things." "And if we can create gravitons at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, we might be able to see evidence of them leaving our dimensions for other ones." People have shared their superstitions regarding the "portal" that will open after two high-energy particle beams are set to travel at close to the speed of light before they collide. Andreas Hoecker, spokesman of the Atlas collaboration, said: "We will measure the strengths of the Higgs boson interactions with matter and force particles to unprecedented precision, and we will further our searches for Higgs boson decays to dark matter particles as well as searches for additional Higgs bosons." Scientists will be looking at the "God particle" 10 years after its discovery with unprecedented precision and in new channels.

Two Indian facilities are providing computing power as part of a grid formed with computers from across the world to churn and process huge data. We know its mass, width, and spin today. As the proton beams are accelerated and then made to collide with each other, the scope of discovery is immense and could shape the world of fundamental particle physics. The detectors, electronics, and computing have all gone through substantial upgrades and they will all be put to test from today. The LHC is a 27-kilometer circular tunnel in which two proton beams are accelerated in opposite directions before they collide. The collisions beginning today will push the facility to record energy levels of 13.6 trillion electronvolts.

CERN, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research is turning on its powerful particle accelerator for the first time in three years.

The collider has not produced any collisions so far. When the Large Hadron Collider was first switched on near Geneva, Switzerland on September 10 2008, people began theorising that it would create microscopic black holes that would start sucking surrounding matter faster and faster until it causes the world to end. After being shut down for upgrade and maintenance work, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiment is set to begin a new period of data after three years.

CONSPIRACY theorists claim that CERN's July 5th test will cause "demonic portals" to be opened.Internet nuts are urging people to counteract their pla.

The green revolution is coming for power-hungry particle accelerators ... Future accelerators may be able to capture spent energy, or use greener cooling gases.

“A lot of these are in parts of these experiments that are just really difficult to access,” says Bloom. “Leaks can develop in there. From the logistician’s point of view, the use of HFCs and PFCs poses a procurement problem. Some of those projects are closer to completion than the FCC. Designers of a new collider at Brookhaven, smashing electrons and ions together, have plotted with energy recovery. But focusing on carbon emissions from these facilities misses part of the picture—in fact, the largest part. Even though the accelerator itself is only a small portion of particle physics’ carbon footprint, Bosivert believes that researchers should plan to reduce the facility’s energy consumption. Those gases need to be non-flammable and endure high levels of radiation, even while maintaining refrigerated temperatures. Much of the collider’s energy is turned into heat. To process and analyze that data, particle physics relies on a global network of supercomputers, computer clusters, and servers—which are notoriously power-hungry. With every “lap,” the electrons gained an energy boost. For one, CERN sources its electricity from the French grid, whose portfolio of nuclear power plants make it one of the least carbon-reliant in the world. LHC, despite its size and energy demands, isn’t that carbon-intensive to operate. It will launch beams of high-energy particles in opposite directions around a 16-mile-long loop to create an explosive crash.

A MASSIVE science lab in Geneva will be live-streamed in just a matter of hours for the re-launch of the world's biggest atom-smasher, but that's not.

That is brief by human standards, but because these particles travel at close to the speed of light, they would leave trails a few millimetres long, which would be a treasured footprint for physicist sleuths to follow. That is an essential first step towards creating a theory and set of rules governing exotic mass. This takes the total number discovered there to 21.

The first kind, observed in an analysis of "decays" of negatively charged B mesons, is a pentaquark made up of a charm quark and a charm antiquark and an up, a down and a strange quark. Two years ago, the collaboration discovered a tetraquark made up of two charm quarks and two charm antiquarks, and two "open-charm" tetraquarks consisting of a charm antiquark, an up quark, a down quark and a strange antiquark. Only time and more studies of exotic hadrons will tell if these particles are one, the other or both. And last year it found the first-ever instance of a "double open-charm" tetraquark with two charm quarks and an up and a down antiquark. More rarely, however, they can also combine into four-quark and five-quark particles, or "tetraquarks" and "pentaquarks." These exotic hadrons were predicted by theorists at the same time as conventional hadrons, about six decades ago, but only relatively recently, in the past 20 years, have they been observed by LHCb and other experiments. The findings, presented today at a CERN seminar, add three new exotic members to the growing list of new hadrons found at the LHC. They will help physicists better understand how quarks bind together into these composite particles.

Geneva, Switzerland, Jul 5 (EFE).- Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider on Tuesday announced the discovery of three new “exotic” particles.

The more experiments that are carried out, the more exotic hadron-like particles are found, coordinator of physics at the LHCb, Niels Tuning, said at a seminar. Quarks are elementary particles that generally come together in groups of two or three to form hadrons, such as the protons and neutrons that make up the nuclei of atoms. The international LHCb collaboration at the LHC “has observed three never-before-seen particles: a new kind of ‘pentaquark’ and the first-ever pair of ‘tetraquarks’, which includes a new type of tetraquark,” the European Center for Particle Physics (CERN) said in a statement.

"In addition to the new hardware, ATLAS upgraded large parts of its software, simulation and computing environment to boost performance, save resources and enable it for use with heterogeneous computing systems," concludes Andreas. Of course, a centrepiece of the ATLAS physics programme remains the Higgs boson. These are but a few of the scientific highlights expected from Run 3. If it is made of particles, as most physicists expect, these may interact with protons or the Higgs boson and be produced in LHC collisions.” Dark matter is invisible and can only be spotted when produced with other, visible particles. The return of LHC beams comes after more than three years of upgrade and maintenance work, with new detector systems and electronic infrastructure installed 100 metres underground in the ATLAS cavern. We have prepared a broad scientific programme, taking advantage of new upgrades to our experiment."

On the other hand, it played a key role in the first moments after the Big Bang, this Boson has a long story to tell us. Particle physics is describing the infinitely small and what happens inside the fundamental building blocks that make up atoms such as elementary particles: electrons, photons, quarks, bosons and the forces with which they interact. CERN is making a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the laws that governed the functioning of the Universe in the first moments of life.

Physicists François Englert and Peter Higgs first theorized the existence of the Higgs boson in the 1960s. Scientists now believe that the Higgs boson is the particle that gives all matter its mass. Physics' Standard Model lays out the basics of how elementary particles and forces interact in the universe. But of course the answer is in the hands of nature, and it depends on how nature answers open questions in fundamental physics," said Fabiola Gianotti, CERN Director-General, in a video posted on CERN's website. That would be the best result. It works by smashing tiny particles together to allow scientists to observe them and see what's inside.

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), which is designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, "is aiming at a staggering fifty-fold increase in the number of recorded collisions," according to CERN.

The LHC was first fired up in 2010 and this latest activity is expected to last for almost four years at a record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts (TeV).

Physicists hope the resumption of collisions will help in their quest for so-called "dark matter" that lies beyond the visible universe. Scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research will this week fire up the 27-kilometre-long Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the machine that found the Higgs boson particle, after a shutdown for maintenance and upgrades was prolonged by COVID-19 delays.

More than 5,500 scientists from 245 institutes in over 40 countries work on the LHC’s largest experiment, ATLAS. Other new experiments at CERN probing the nature of the universe will focus on collisions of high-energy ions, to better understand the plasma that was present only in the first microsecond after the Big Bang; probe the insides of protons; study cosmic rays; and search for the still-hypothetical magnetic monopole, an isolated magnet with only one magnetic pole. The new tetraquarks, observed with a statistical significance of 6.5 and 8 standard deviations respectively, are the first time a pair of tetraquarks has been observed. The first-ever pair of tetraquarks and the new pentaquark, discovered in torrents of data gathered during previous research at the LHC, will help explain how subatomic particles form. Specifically, the new findings will help theorists develop a unified model of exotic hadrons, and better understand conventional hadrons. In particle accelerators like this, slamming protons together at high energy can produce tiny fragments of the universe not normally seen. The Higgs, named for the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who theorized it, helps give all matter its mass, and is thought to have been present at the creation of the universe, moments after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago.

The increased amount of energy used this time is expected to lead to greater precision and discovery potential than ever before.

Wait and see for the upcoming changes for those who manifested." While another commented, "It’s just a regular day. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a complex machine that studies particles and spans 17 miles. They’re tryna catch us off guard," one penned. The creator believed the machine would open a portal to another dimension once it turned back on. Some of the viral clips have taken inspiration from Netflix's Stranger Things.

Scientists at European nuclear research center CERN discovered three never-before-seen subatomic particles while working with the Large Hadron Collider.

The drastically energized beams of protons will cause more collisions which, in theory, will allow for more new discoveries. "The more analyses we perform, the more kinds of exotic hadrons we find," physicist Niels Tuning explained in CERN's statement. Now, the new subatomic particle discoveries will help physicists better understand the way in which quarks bing to form composite particles.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is back with more powerful collisions than ever before and scientists are thrilled to see what they can learn.

In some sense, [Higgs] is related to many open questions related to, for instance, the evolution of the universe [and] to even its fate." McBride said the upgraded LHC will "be able to do precision measurements to understand what the Higgs is, what it's telling us about nature." Parkes noted it took 15 years of planning to get this far, which means that finally operating the upgraded detector "is a really exciting time."

CERN resumed scientific operations at the world's largest particle collider, installed some powerful upgrades.

The Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, features a 17-mile circular tunnel in which particles like protons are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and then smashed into each other to produce showers of smaller particles.

Overbye, Dennis. “As the Large Hadron Collider Revs Up, Physicists’ Hopes Soar.” The New York Times, 13 June 2022. In 2012 CERN researchers identified the Higgs boson, described by The New York Times as “a long-sought particle, which imparts mass to all the other particles in the universe.” Another rumor, again spread in 2016, falsely stated that a video depicted a human sacrifice at the facility. What is the “dark matter” that suffuses the cosmos? CERN will be opening a portal on July 5th.

A goal of the new LHC era is to better understand the structure of the Higgs boson, a subatomic particle the collider uncovered a decade ago.

“Finding new kinds of tetraquarks and pentaquarks and measuring their properties will help theorists develop a unified model of exotic hadrons, the exact nature of which is largely unknown,” said Chris Parkes, a spokesperson for the experiment responsible for the discovery, in a separate CERN press release. Scientists at CERN, which runs the LHC, plan to measure how the Higgs boson decays into other matter, such as muons. After three years of upgrades and maintenance, the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has fired up for a third run.
