CERN on Monday ran for the last time the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, housed underground near the France-Switzerland border near Geneva, which ran since May this year. It said the number of collisions recorded by the ATLAS and CMS detectors during the proton run was 60 percent higher than expected though the results of 2012 ...

Almost two years after Pakistan, India too joined CERN as an associate member of the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN), which houses the world’s largest nuclear and particle physics laboratory in the world and known for operating the Large Hadron Collider, that has claimed to have found the elusive Higgs Boson in 2012 and won the Nobel the next ...

Adlène Hicheur is another particle physicist with a research brain that can match any world scientist but his faith begs to differ. An Algerian bropught up in a working class locality in Paris, Hicheur grew up to be an excellent atomic physics scientist and landed in Geneva-based CERN before being ridden to bed with hernia-related sickness that capitulated with the ...

A recent occurrence of an unusual bump in the signal of the Large Hadron Collider in CERN has set all scientists across the world to wonder what it could be. Explanations have not stopped from pouring in still while some call it new God’s Particle. Some scientists attributed it to a possible new particle previously unknown, or perhaps even two new ...

With the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) achieving the so-called ultimate triumph in particle physics with its Higgs Boson experiment in 2012, China has jumped the bandwagon while Japan is piggy-backing the CERN. India has already dug the earth in Tamil Nadu for its Netrino underground venture. What’s coming forth is that Chinese scientists at the Institute of High ...

Higgs Boson pioneer CERN or the European Organisation for Nuclear Research has announced that Pakistan has become an Associate Member of CERN with effect from August 1, 2015, leaving India ponder the possibility of joining the Organisation soon. Pakistan has been swift to ratify the agreement signed in December to join the CERN as a full member after committing to ...

CERN and Sri Lanka have formed a partnership with the aim of formalizing and broadening their cooperation. To this end, CERN Director General Rolf Heuer and Sri Lanka‘s Permanent Representative at the UN in Geneva, Ambassador Ravinatha Aryasinha, signed an Expression of Interest on Thursday 25 June 2015. This agreement will pave the way for international cooperation with Sri Lanka ...

CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research has discovered a new class of particles known as pentaquarks, which could pave the way to understand the matter that all humans or animals are made of. LHCb spokesperson Guy Wilkinson said it represents a way to aggregate quarks, namely the fundamental constituents of ordinary protons and neutrons, in a pattern that has ...

CERN achieved a breakthrough on Wednesday night when protons collided in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the record-breaking energy of 13 TeV for the first time, paving the way for the next round in early June in search of the dark matter or God’s particle. The set-up of the collimators, which absorb stray particles were adjusted in colliding-beam conditions ...

In a first of its kind, a joint paper from two teams operating the massive detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Europe’s particle-physics lab near Geneva, Switzerland created a new record as it involved more than 5000 authors and and just the contributors’ name runs into 24 pages. The physics research paper, published in the journal Nature ...
