Turbulent processes take place close to supermassive black holes, which lurk in the centres of nearly all galaxies. They swallow up matter flowing in from the outside while at the same time producing so-called gas jets which shoot out into space in…
Today ATLAS and other particle physics experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began recording physics data from 13 TeV proton collisions, which allow for precision studies of the Higgs boson and other Standard Model particles, as well as…
By analyzing their combined data the CMS and LHCb collaborations revealed the very rare decay of a B0s particle into two muon particles. The Standard Model, the theory that best describes the world of particles, predicts that this rare subatomic…
On Thursday, April 30 2015, Frank Simon from the Max Planck Institute for Physics was elected new spokesperson of CALICE. The CALICE (CAlorimeter for LInear Collider Experiment) collaboration unites more than 300 physicists and engineers worldwide.…
After two years of intense maintenance and consolidation, and several months of preparation for restart, the Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, is back in operation.
A short circuit that had delayed the relaunch of the Large Hadron Collider has been remedied. Now the LHC is back on track for the initiation of Run 2.
On Occasion of this years' spring conferences of the Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft over 10.000 experts from all around the world will come together to discuss current scientific issues. Throughout march there will be conferences in Bochum,…
CERN announced at the 174th session of the CERN Council on 12 December that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is gearing up for its second three-year run. The LHC is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world and the whole…
