The unprecedented energy of proton collisions at the LHC could be what scientists need to find a possible substructure for subatomic particles The Standard Model of particle physics tells us what elementary particles make up matter in the universe. As far as we know, the particles in the Standard Model are the basic building blocks of matter […]
The study of light antinuclei – from creation to annihilation – will bolster future indirect dark matter searches This media update is part of a series related to the 2020 Large Hadron Collider Physics conference, taking place from 25 to 30 May 2020. Originally planned to take place in Paris, the conference is being held entirely
Fresh antimatter study by ALICE collaboration will help with the search for dark matter Read More »
“From a cavern 100 metres below a small Swiss village, the 7000-tonne ATLAS detector is probing for fundamental particles“ ATLAS is one of two general-purpose detectors at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It investigates a wide range of physics, from the search for the Higgs boson to extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. Although it has the same scientific
To accelerate particles, the accelerators are fitted with metallic chambers containing an electromagnetic field known as radiofrequency (RF) cavities. Charged particles injected into this field receive an electrical impulse that accelerates them. In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), 16 RF cavities are housed in four cylindrical refrigerators called cryomodules, which enable them to work in a
