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 ...

India Finally Joins CERN, 50 Years After Initial TIFR Ties
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 ...

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 ...

Months after Pakistan becoming a member of CERN, the world’s largest particle physics lab that claims to have cracked Higgs Boson in 2012 and went ot win a Nobel prize next year, India has woken up to the necessity of joining the prestious research outfit. “The government has approved India’s associate membership of CERN. But it will take about a ...

Two years after the shutdown of its epoch-making Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the God Particle hunt by CERN resumed on Sunday at 10:41 AM local time. The physics particle search tunnel was closed for refurbishment after it found the first instance of Higgs Boson particle, known as God’s Particle in popular parlance in 2012. With a proton beam back in ...

During the 50th session of “Rencontres de Moriond” in La Thuile Italy, ATLAS and CMS presented for the first time a combination of their results on the mass of the Higgs boson. The combined mass of the Higgs boson is mH = 125.09 ± 0.24 (0.21 stat. ± 0.11 syst.) GeV, which corresponds to a measurement precision of better than ...

CERN, the premier institute known for its research on Higgs Boson or God Particle, and anti-matter will re-open its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) after shut-down since January 2013 for refurbishment as it has to go for its second three-year run. CERN’s LHC is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world and the institute said the whole 27-km ...

CERN on Thursday uploaded data from its experiments at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the first time making it openly available to all. Its Open Data Portal where data from real collision events is uploaded is expected to be of high value for the research community, and also be used for education purposes. While it is the first experiments of 2010, ...
