Become a Higgs Hunter
HiggsHunters is the first mass-participation citizen science project for the Large Hadron Collider, allowing non-experts to get directly involved in physics analysis. Since its launch in 2014 on the Zooniverse platform, over 30,000 people from 179…
Read moreLHC experiments present latest results in ICHEP16
New results from the LHC experiments were presented during the 38th International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP 2016) that took place in Chicago, USA. The collaborations of the LHC experiments can now dive in and explore at the…
Read moreCharting the Unknown: interpreting LHC data from the energy frontier
The LHC has started its Run2, exploring for the first time the high-energy frontier at 13 TeV. Collected data will give decisive information on the dynamics behind electroweak symmetry breaking and allow testing the weak-scale…
Read moreLHC Restart 2016
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data at 13TeV. The goal is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics which ulitmately in decades to come can drive innovation and inventions…
Read moreATLAS and ALICE PhD Awards
Two of the LHC experiments, ATLAS and ALICE, recently announced winners of the “ATLAS PhD Grant” and “ALICE Thesis Award” schemes. The prizes aim to foster healthy competition between young members of the two collaborators and acknowledge the hard…
Read moreChronicles of the ATLAS data taking in 2015
2015 has been extraordinary: after 2 years of shutdown (LS-1) the LHC and its experiments have come back into operation for a new exciting running period (Run-2) to push the research about the infinitely small structure of matter, related…
Read moreResults from ATLAS & CMS shed light on Higgs properties
Three years after the announcement of the discovery of a new particle, the Higgs boson, the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations have recently presented for the first time combined measurements of many of its properties, at the third annual Large Hadron…
Read moreLHC experiments upgraded trigger plans
As the LHC prepares for higher energies and luminosities all four experiments have upgraded their triggering to record data more efficiently and make sure that their detectors are ready to find evidence for new physics. The trigger teams from the…
Read moreATLAS results from lead-lead and proton-lead collision
The ATLAS results from PbPb data included a measurement of high-pΤ photons and W mesons, high-precision measurement of jet and charged particle RΑΑ, studies of jet fragmentation, path length dependence of jet quenching, neighbouring jet…
Read moreLHC experiments present latests results from heavy-ion runs (old)
The 7th edition of the Hard Probes International Conference series was hosted by McGill University in Montréal, Québec, Canada, from 29 June to 3 July. During the last two decades, high-energy nuclear physics has seen a tremendous progress;…
