LHC animation: The path of the protons CERN 2015-06-03 | This animation shows how the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) works. The film begins with an aerial view of CERN near Geneva, with outlines of the accelerator complex, including the underground Large Hadron Collider (LHC), 27-km in circumference. The positions of the four largest LHC experiments, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb are revealed before we see protons travelling around the LHC ring.The proton source is a simple bottle of hydrogen gas. An electric field is used to strip hydrogen atoms of their electrons to yield protons. Linac 2, the first accelerator in the chain, accelerates the protons to the energy of 50 MeV. The beam is then injected into the Proton Synchrotron Booster (PSB), which accelerates the protons to 1.4 GeV, followed by the Proton Synchrotron (PS), which pushes the beam to 25 GeV. Protons are then sent to the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) where they are accelerated to 450 GeV.The protons are finally transferred to the two beam pipes of the LHC. The beam in one pipe circulates clockwise while the beam in the other pipe circulates anticlockwise, increasing in energy until they reach 6.5 TeV. Beams circulate for many hours inside the LHC beam pipes under normal operating conditions. The two beams are brought into collision inside four detectors – ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb – where the total energy at the collision point is equal to 13 TeV. Collisions occur once every 25 nanoseconds, the trigger level 1 performs ultrafast event selection before data move to trigger levels 2 and 3 at the PC farm. Selected event data are then sent to the CERN data centre that performs initial data reconstruction and makes a copy of the data for long-term storage, while raw and reconstituted data are sent to the Computing Grid. The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid infrastructure includes two "Tier 0" sites, one at CERN and one in Budapest, Hungary, as well as further smaller computing sites located around the world.As collision data increases, physicists build up enough statistics to test theoretical predictions, such as the prediction of a Higgs Boson, discovered in the data from the LHC's first physics run (shown as a bump in the graphs in the animation). The LHC allows physicists to probe the nature of matter. The new higher collision energy of 13 TeV opens up new frontiers in particle physics.Directors: Daniel Dominguez, Arzur Catel TorresMusic: F_Fact_-_State_of_Mind_(_psystep_vers._of_the_beach) by "Platinum Butterfly" CC BY 3.0You can follow us on:cern.chyoutube.com/cerntvfacebook.com/cerntwitter.com/cernlinkedin.com/company/cerninstagram.com/cernCopyright © 2015 CERN.

A leaky bottle & the ATLAS particle detector? CERN 2022-11-15 | What is the link between a leaky bottle... and the optical fibres in the @ATLAS Experiment particle detector? ⛲️⚙️In this #CERNSolvayEducation video, we look at a jet of water and flexible fibres in the Tile Calorimeter of the ATLAS detector. They both can guide light through multiple reflections and change its colour from blue to green! For our leaky bottle, the light comes from a laser pointer, but in ATLAS, the light comes from high-energy particles hitting scintillating tiles. 👉More on scintillation: youtu.be/so8Hk27l_JY 👉More on light guiding and colour shifting: https://cern.ch/leaky-bottle#TeachingTuesday #CERNScienceGateway #STEM #Education @Solvay Group
How to create photons you can see CERN 2022-11-08 | Scintillating detectors at CERN rely on luminescence, sometimes known as "cold light", to detect high-energy particles. In this first physics explainer video of the #CERNSolvayEducation Programme, we discuss how light is created, how incandescence ("warm light") differs from luminescence ("cold light") and how we use the latter in scintillation detectors. This course video is designed for teenagers who want to go beyond high-school physics and get an introduction to CERN #physics and #technology.

Muon Collider: A great potential for high-energy physics! CERN 2022-11-04 | The concept of using colliding beams of oppositely charged muons dates back to the late 1960s, with F.F. Tikhonin, G.I. Budker and A.N. Skrinski. The interest of the muon collider has been recently revived as the latter promises a sustainable path towards very high energy and the first International Muon Collider Collaboration workshop took place at CERN from October 11 to October 14, 2022 (see https://muoncollider.web.cern.ch/welcome-page-muon-collider-website and https://indico.cern.ch/event/1175126/ ). High-energy lepton colliders combine cutting edge discovery potential with precision measurements. Because leptons are point-like particles, in contrast to protons, they can achieve comparable physics at lower centre-of-mass energies. The relative physics reach depends on the channels considered but a 10 TeV lepton collider would be comparable to a 100 TeV proton-proton collider. The large muon mass suppresses synchrotron radiation and enables the use of circular accelerator and collider rings. However, the short muon lifetime limits the number of turns in these rings and all the challenges of such a collider are linked to the fact that muons are decaying particles. Despite these many challenges, no showstopper has been identified yet and a muon collider is a very promising option for the future of the high-energy physics.ContributorsDirector: Fichet, Jacques HerveCo-Producer: Metral, Elias

Live from CERN: Join us for the first collisions for physics at 13.6 TeV! CERN 2022-07-05 | In April 2022, CERN restarted the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after more than three years of maintenance and upgrades, known as Long Shutdown 2 (LS2).Since then, experts have worked around the clock to progressively recommission the machine and safely ramp up the energy and intensity of the beams before delivering collisions to the LHC experiments at the world-record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts (13.6 TeV). These high-energy collisions with stable beams will mark the beginning of the third run of the LHC, called Run 3.Join CERN scientists live on 5 July, 16.00 CEST to celebrate this world record and the upcoming physics season.
