One PetaByte is the equivalent of 11000 4k movies. And CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) generates this every single second. Only a fraction of this data (~1 GB/s) is stored and analyzed using a multicluster batch job dispatcher with Kueue running on Kubernetes. In this episode we have Ricardo Rocha, Platform Engineering Lead at CERN and CNCF Advocate, explaining why after 20 years at CERN he is still excited about the work he and his colleagues at CERN are doing. To kick things off we learn about the impact that the CNCF has on the scientific community, how to best balance an implementation of that scale between "easy of use" vs "optimized for throughput". Tune in and learn about custom hardware being built 20 years ago and how the advent of the latest chip generation has impacted the evolution of data scientists around the globeLinks we discussedRicardo's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ricardo-rocha-739aa718/KubeCon SLC Keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMmskWIlktA&list=PLj6h78yzYM2Pw4mRw4S-1p_xLARMqPkA7&index=5Kueue CNCF Project: https://kubernetes.io/blog/2022/10/04/introducing-kueue/

How can the Large Hadron Collider turn lead into primordial soup and why? Join us as we dive into the world of heavy ion collisions at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this episode, we connect with an expert from the LHC's Beam Operations team and a researcher from the ALICE experiment to uncover the science behind colliding lead ions instead of protons. What does it take to vapourize lead, strip off its electrons, and accelerate it to near-light speeds for these extraordinary collisions? And why are these collisions important? We'll explore the challenges of lead ion collisions, how they differ from proton collisions, and the unique role of the ALICE experiment in studying their results. From measurements to discoveries, we'll unpack the insights gained from these experiments while offering a glimpse into the future of research at the LHC. Tune in to explore the fascinating intersection of physics, experimentation, and cutting-edge discovery.

Have we been completely wrong about the Higgs boson? What if it's not what we think but something far more elusive? And what does the origin of mass in the universe have to do with music? Here today to explore these mind-bending questions is theoretical physicist Matt Strassler. Matt is known for his work in particle physics, particularly in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and quantum field theory. He has been involved in research on the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, and other topics in high-energy physics.  In our insightful interview, we dive into the mysteries of quantum physics, the nature of space, and how waves—not just particles—form the building blocks of reality.  Tune in to find out how the Higgs field gives mass to everything in the universe!  Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro  00:01:24 Deepak or Matt?  00:03:18 Judging a book by its cover  00:06:27 Energy, frequency, and vibration  00:11:53 What is a phib, and why should the reader care?  00:16:15 Galileo's impact  00:20:51 The Higgs field and the Higgs boson 00:28:17 Fine-tuning problems of matter and anti-matter  00:33:57 Renormalization  00:38:59 The luminiferous ether 00:49:08 Why Mach didn't play a part in Matt's book  00:52:08 Inflation and the Higgs field 00:55:35 Rapid questions  01:03:21 Outro Additional resources: ➡️ Learn more about Matt Strassler: 

In this dialogue, Prof Christo Doherty, the Chair of Research in the Wits School of Arts, speaks to Ariane Koek, a prominent British independent producer, curator, and writer, recognized globally for her pioneering work at the intersection of art and science. With a career spanning several decades Ariane is particularly noted for founding the Arts at CERN program, which she designed and directed from 2009 to 2015. This initiative was the first official international arts program at CERN and aimed to foster collaboration between artists and scientists. Under her leadership, the program included various residency opportunities for artists, allowing them to explore and interpret scientific concepts through their creative practices. The project has just been awarded the Grand Prize - Innovative Collaboration at Ars Electronica 2024. The prize recognises innovative collaboration between industry or technology and the arts (and the cultural and creative sectors in general) that opens new pathways for innovation. In this podcast we focus on the Arts at CERN project, a curatorial and political challenge that Ariane launched single-handedly in 2010. CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is an intergovernmental organization comprising 24 member states, that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world situated in a vast complex based outside Geneva in Switzerland. CERN's main function is to provide particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research. The lab's most notable project is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider, consisting of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets. The Centre has approximately 2,660 scientific, technical, and administrative staff members, and in 2019 hosted about 12,400 users from institutions in more than 70 countries.  We do a deep dive into the experience of setting up the Arts at CERN programme and the lessons Ariane learnt from working with artists and scientists in such a challenging context. We then go on to unpack Ariane's more recent insistence that we need to go beyond the acceptance of art-science collaborations as “de facto” positive and the implications of this insight for her current work as a producer and curator. Finally we touch on the continuing importance of aesthetics in both contemporary art and science while recognising the different meaning of the term "beauty" in artistic and scientific discourses.

Last weekend our friends and neighbours at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge put on a great event: the Mathematics Discovery Day, part of the Cambridge Festival. Among the may hands-on activities, games and pop-up explorations were the hugely popular, and well-attended, workshops for students delivered by our colleagues Liz and Charlie from NRICH. Our brilliant colleague Julia Hawkins herded academics and volunteers, juggled props and generally made sure that everything went smoothly. At the same time our partners at the Isaac Newton Institute next door hosted one of our favourite physicists: Ben Allanach, Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. Ben gave a talk called The force awakens: Quantum collisions, in which he explored experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), particle physics, as well as recent research results which suggested there may be a fifth force of nature, hitherto unknown to science. For those who weren't able to attend Ben's talk we revisit an interview with him from last year, in which he explains this intriguing (and if true sensational) result about a potential new force. The image above illustrates particle collisions at the LHC and is courtesy CMS. This content now forms part of our collaboration with the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI). The INI is an international research centre in Cambridge which attracts leading mathematicians from all over the world. You can find all the content from the collaboration here.

A University of Galway delegation has taken part in a national fact-finding mission as part of Ireland's proposal for membership of CERN - the European Organization for Nuclear Research, where physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Professor James Livesey, University of Galway's Vice-President for Research and Innovation, and Dr Aaron Golden, Vice-Dean for Research and Innovation, at the University's College of Science & Engineering, visited the world's largest particle physics laboratory as part of an Irish delegation. An intergovernmental organisation based in Geneva near the border between Switzerland and France, CERN has 23 member states. Almost 3000 people are employed on the huge campus which every year plays hosts about 12,000 people from scientific institutions from more than 70 countries. CERN currently operates the most powerful particle accelerator in the world, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where proton beams moving at a fraction of the speed of light are smashed together, recreating, for an instant, explosions of energy that have only ever occurred at the origin of the universe, unlocking the fundamental constituents of matter. Vast experiments sweep up the blizzard of fragments, and painstakingly identify new physics - in the form of new types of matter. Work at CERN has resulted in no less than 5 Nobel prizes to date, most recently for the discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012. Professor James Livesey, Vice-President for Research and Innovation, said: "This visit really emphasised to us all on the delegation the incredible value to University of Galway that Irish membership of CERN would bring, across so many levels. It is difficult to identify any other scientific facility in Europe that is such a source of wonder and inspiration and CERN's outreach mission is second to none. The creativity in physics and mathematics essential to understanding the most fundamental science possible using the LHC is mirrored in the creativity needed by the engineering and technical teams to build and operate these astonishing 'discovery machines'. Having Galway in the community of practice around CERN would make us members of one of the most creative and innovative groups in the world." The Irish delegation took part in a day-long visit to CERN, including tours of several of the currently operating particle and nuclear physics experiments on the campus, along with presentations and Q&A sessions with CERN personnel, highlighting the breadth of activities to which membership would give access to. Beyond its core mission of pushing the frontier of fundamental physics, CERN is heavily involved in the application of technology transfer to areas as diverse as algorithm development, network and computational infrastructure, materials science and medical physics. CERN operates a unique access programme for members, that provides funding for undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers to visit and work on site in areas that cover the full spectrum of its activities, with the graduate engineering training programmes being widely considered one of the best in Europe. Dr Aaron Golden, Vice-Dean for Research and Innovation, College of Science & Engineering said: "It was eye-opening to find out directly CERN's medtech innovation activities, from novel radiotherapeutics to medical device development to tumour biology modelling, and their support of member state colleagues in these areas. The University of Galway is uniquely placed to engage with such access, particularly with the recent opening of UHG's Saolta Radiation Oncology Centre." CERN will be sending a delegation to visit Ireland in April of this year to assess Ireland's application for membership.

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD has today secured Government approval to submit Ireland's formal application to join the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) as an Associate Member. CERN is one of the world's largest and most respected centres for scientific research. Ireland to join CERN Speaking at Government Buildings today, Minister Harris said: "This is a development that has been, for decades, eagerly awaited by our academic community and I would like to thank them for their assistance in bringing us to this milestone in Irish science and in preparing Ireland's formal application. "I am so pleased we have reached this milestone moment. CERN will consider the application in mid-December. I really want to thank my Department officials for all of their work. We are on the cusp of something significant." Membership of CERN can be expected to bring benefits to Ireland across research, industry, skills, science outreach, and international relations. It will open doors for Ireland's researchers to participate in CERN's scientific programmes and will make Irish citizens eligible for staff positions and fellowships at CERN. With CERN membership, Irish citizens will gain access to CERN's formal training schemes. These include masters and PhD programmes, apprenticeships, a graduate engineering training scheme, internships for computer scientists and engineers, and technical training experience. These skills will be developed far beyond what is possible in Ireland and are in industry-relevant areas such as electronics, photonics, materials, energy systems and software. Membership will also allow Ireland's enterprises to compete in CERN procurement programmes. Much of CERN's instrumentation and equipment requires the development or exploitation of novel technologies, which spurs enterprise innovation. Many of these technologies have applications in other spheres such as medicine, space, energy and ICT. Minister Harris added: "My Department will continue to work closely with CERN, in order to expedite the application process and we hope that Ireland's membership can commence in late 2024. We will continue to work with the academic community to make the necessary preparations for the Irish researchers to participate effectively at CERN from day one of Irish membership." It is hoped that CERN Council may be in a position to agree this December to send a fact-finding Task Force to Ireland in March 2024 to carry out their formal assessment. The Department will then formally establish the National Advisory Committee on CERN to prepare for membership and to coordinate with CERN's fact-finding Task Force. The Task Force will submit a report on Ireland's suitability for Associate Membership to the Director-General and the President of the CERN Council. In June 2024, the CERN Council may take a final vote on whether to admit Ireland as an Associate Member. Notes to editors CERN is an intergovernmental organisation that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. CERN is the leading global collaboration investigating the fundamental composition of matter. It was established in 1954 and straddles the Franco-Swiss border, just outside Geneva. CERN currently has 23 Member States (including most of the EU Member States) and has co-operation agreements with over 40 other states. The main focus of activity in CERN is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This is an underground ring which is 27km in circumference in which protons, one of the constituent particles of an atom, are accelerated to 99.9999991% of the speed of light and collided into one another. The Large Hadron Collider was used to discover the Higgs boson in 2012. CERN also plays a leading role in promoting and organising international cooperation in scientific research The CERN Convention specifically stipulates that CERN "shall have no concern with work for military requirements and the results of...

Step into the world of cutting-edge science and profound discoveries in our engaging show segment, "Altering Reality." In this episode, we explore how the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, has revolutionized our understanding of the universe and transformed the very essence of reality.

What is the universe made of? Will we ever have a complete list of all the particles that make up existence? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome Dr. Lesya Horyn, PhD, a Fermilab researcher working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland.   As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, which takes us to Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, NY, where scientists have figured out how to make matter from energy. They smashed 2 photons together to produce a matter/anti-matter particle pair. It happens naturally in the universe, and we convert matter into energy all the time, but we've never before turned energy into matter using photons, which have no mass.   Next up, a quantum mechanics question from Lindsey in Massachusetts: “Do you believe that there is an elementary particle responsible for gravity?” Dr. Horyn explains how the standard model (the “periodic table” of subatomic particles) “makes a nice picture” but is “missing stuff” like dark matter and gravity, neither of which are in the standard model. One of these missing pieces is the graviton, a theorized elementary particle that would be responsible for gravitational force in the same way that the photon is responsible for the electromagnetic force, which Dr. Horyn and Charles both believe exists but has not yet been discovered. (Honorable mention: Our geek-in-chief Chuck mentions the Marvel Comics supervillain Graviton, who has the comic book superpower of gravity.)   Dr. Horyn explains her research at CERN, and how the LHC actually is used for experiments. You'll learn more about the LHC, a 17-mile-circumfrence underground ring used to smash particles into each other at specific speeds, and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, which Lesya is using for her research now. You'll also hear about the much larger A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS), which she used previously for her primary research, both of which were used in the discovery of the Higgs boson ten years ago.   As Charles and Lesya take us down the particle physics rabbit hole, we end up talking about the Muon g-2 experiments eventually conducted by Fermilab. Find out why the gyromagnetic moment is important to particle physics – and yes, we go deep into the physics weeds in this episode! (Make sure to catch the story about moving a giant magnet from Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York by boat and truck to Fermilab in Illinois!)   Moving on, the crew tackles a question from Walter T. on Patreon, who asks, “Could the many worlds theory still be deterministic?” Charles explains the many worlds model, but because our existing experiments cannot distinguish between the many different models of quantum mechanics, Lesya defaults to the infamous Richard Feynman quote, “Anybody who claims to understand quantum mechanics is either crazy or lying.”   If you'd like to know more about Dr. Horyn, you can follow her on Twitter at @lesyaah. And be sure to follow @CERN, @ATLASexperiment, and @CMSexperiment to keep up with some of the developments we've discussed in this episode.   We hope you enjoy this episode of The LIUniverse, and, if you do, please support us on Patreon.    Credits for Images Used in this Episode: Brookhaven National Laboratory – Credit: Energy.gov, public domain Particles in the Standard Model – Credit: Cush via Wikimedia, public domain The CMS detector – Credit: Evenkolder, CC-BY 2.0 The g-2 experiment magnet in transit – Credit: Energy.gov, public domain MuonG-2 Predicted – Credit: Allen Liu, for the LIUniverse MuonG-2 Observed – Credit: Allen Liu, for the LIUniverse  

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a marvel of modern science, acting as a high-powered particle accelerator that propels particles to near-light speeds and collides them. These intense, high-energy collisions can produce many outcomes, each dependent on the energy level at which they occur. One such fascinating outcome, projected to occur at higher energy levels, could be the generation of mini black holes. Detecting these mini black holes, should they come into existence, would serve as the inaugural step towards making contact with an alternate dimension...LIVE ON Digital Radio! http://bit.ly/3m2Wxom or http://bit.ly/40KBtlW http://www.troubledminds.org Support The Show! https://rokfin.com/creator/troubledminds https://patreon.com/troubledmindshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/troubledminds https://troubledfans.comFriends of Troubled Minds! - https://troubledminds.org/friends Show Schedule Sun-Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs 7-10pst iTunes - https://apple.co/2zZ4hx6Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2UgyzqMStitcher - https://bit.ly/2UfAiMXTuneIn - https://bit.ly/2FZOErSTwitter - https://bit.ly/2CYB71U----------------------------------------https://troubledminds.org/the-cosmic-conduit-first-contact-with-alternate-dimensions/https://blog.sciencenatures.com/2022/10/researchers-at-large-hadron-collider.html?m=1https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/rainbow-gravity-universe-beginning/https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AnotherDimensionhttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DimensionalTravelerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_universes_in_fictionhttps://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/tvandradioblog/2018/feb/27/dimension-overload-why-tv-cant-get-enough-of-parallel-universeshttps://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Fringehttps://media.discordapp.net/attachments/748794508627673088/1116542098959761499/image.pnghttps://media.discordapp.net/attachments/748794508627673088/1116542239942910062/image.pngKozyrev mirror - WikipediaTime Reflections Are Real: What Are They, and How Do They Work?

Dr. Will H. Flanagan will discuss proposed nuclear safeguards for mass-produced nuclear energy and the risks involved in doing so. About the Lecture: In the nuclear era, a single weapon snuck through a border is able to significantly shift geopolitical balances. In 2007, Congress mandated the use of radiation detectors on all inbound containers but there is currently no way effectively meet this goal. Nuclear safeguards exist at all major ports of entry, though they are not always able to scan every item of cargo. Cerium Laboratories is addressing one aspect of this problem by producing a semiconductor-based “neutron intercepting system on a chip” (NISoC). Such detectors are made a modern semiconductor fabrication facilities in batches of 10,000 with a cost of a few dollars per device. This has the potential to shift nuclear safeguards in a direction where a detector can be placed on every inbound container ship. The current status of this effort will be discussed as well as future prospects. About the Speaker: Dr. Will Flanagan received his undergraduate education at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Lured from astronomy research by the fascinating connection between cosmology and particle physics, he began doing Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology at Texas A&M through a summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) internship. Dr Flanagan later returned to Texas A&M for his PhD, searching for dark matter at the CMS experiment along the LHC beam line. His hitchhike through the field of particle physics has included various neutrino experiments as well as development of novel particle detectors. Dr Flanagan's current focus is developing a solid-state neutron detector with Austin-based Cerium Labs. The team recently completed a short journal publication and is actively developing future prototypes with applications from nuclear nonproliferation to hydrogen exploration. Before joining Cerium, Dr. Flanagan was an assistant professor at University of Dallas and remains an affiliate professor there with an active lab. Dr. Flanagan is also a member of the Texas Army National Guard as is currently activated to teach physics at the United States Military Academy at West Point. ***Learn more about IWP graduate programs: https://www.iwp.edu/academic-programs/ ***Make a gift to IWP: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/WebLink.aspx?name=E231090&id=18

Greetings everyone! Sorry we were not live this week, but due to covid, baby makings, and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we were unable to do so. However, that does not mean we don't have action packed show for you. This week Rick, Dup, and Greg (otherwise known as the OG's), discuss the ability to finally talk about Stranger Things (thanks Dup!), to include the Duffer brothers vs the Wachowski brothers, or should we say sisters? We also talk about the changing tides of “step” family members in the porn community and if we would partake in the extra loving of a step-family member (here's a hint- Rick would prefer sheep). Finally to close out the show we go bring you the next topic of our famous Conspiracy Theory series- the LHC, parallel universes, and the Mandela effect?

The machine that discovered the Higgs Boson 10 years ago is about to restart after a massive upgrade, to dig deeper into the heart of matter and the nature of the Universe. Roland Pease returns to CERN's 27-kilometre Large Hadron Collider (LHC) dug deeper under the Swiss-French border to meet the scientists wondering why the Universe is the way it is. He hears why the Nobel-prize winning discovery of the “Higgs Particle” remains a cornerstone of the current understanding of the nature of matter; why the search for “dark matter” – 25% of the cosmos - is proving to be so hard; and CERN's plans for an atom smasher 4 times as big to be running by the middle of the century.

Vor zehn Jahren wurde ein neues Elementarteilchen aufgespürt, das sogenannte Higgs-Boson. Prof. Dr. Johannes Haller von der Universität Hamburg war an der Entdeckung beteiligt. Im Podcast „Wissenswelle“ erklärt er ihre Bedeutung – und was ihn motiviert, weiter nach unbekannten Teilchen zu suchen. So etwas wie das Higgs-Teilchen musste es einfach geben. Das wussten Forschende seit der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts, denn ohne dieses Teilchen ergab das sogenannte Standardmodell der Physik keinen Sinn – das Modell also, mit dem Teilchenphysikerinnen und –physiker den Aufbau der Materie erklären und die Wechselwirkungen zwischen ihren kleinsten Bausteinen, den sogenannten Elementarteilchen. Erst der leistungsfähigste Beschleuniger der Welt, der Large Hadron Collider (LHC) am Zentrum für Teilchenphysik CERN bei Genf, ermöglichte 2012 den experimentellen Nachweis des theoretisch vorhergesagten Teilchens. „Damit sind jedoch längst nicht alle Geheimnisse um den Aufbau der Materie gelüftet“, erklärt Prof. Dr. Johannes Haller. Denn zum einen sind noch nicht alle Eigenschaften des Higgs-Bosons genau verstanden. „Zum anderen wissen wir heute, dass etwa 95 Prozent der Materie im Weltraum aus bislang unbekannter Materie besteht. Künftige Experimente bringen möglicherweise weitere, bisher unbekannte Teilchen ans Licht und erlauben dadurch vielleicht Rückschlüsse über die Eigenschaften der Dunklen Materie oder der Dunklen Energie.“

CERN is one of the most respected organizations for scientific research in the world and has the largest particle physics lab in the world. It also has the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) which is the largest and highest-energy particle collider in the world. Even with this, it is the subject of numerous conspiracies and weird theories around it, including that their experiments may lead to a doomsday where it could swallow up our earth and the entire universe. Join us today on the Think Thrice podcast as we delve into these theories and more.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is restarting after a three-year break for maintenance and upgrades. In the first of two episodes, host Alok Jha travels to the Franco-Swiss border to find out what the particle accelerator could reveal about the fundamental building blocks of the universe. In 2012, the LHC discovered the Higgs boson, the final piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. But physicists know that that theory is incomplete—it does not account for gravity, dark energy or dark matter, and cannot explain why there seems to be more matter than antimatter. In its third run of experiments, we investigate how the LHC might change our understanding of physics at its most fundamental scales.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has recently been switched back on after a three-year hiatus to resolve a mysterious and tantalising result from its previous run. So far, everything discovered at the LHC has agreed with the standard model, the guiding theory of particle physics that describes the building blocks of matter, and the forces that guide them. However, recent findings show particles behaving in a way that can't be explained by known physics. Madeleine Finlay speaks to Guardian science correspondent Hannah Devlin and Prof Jon Butterworth about why this might be a clue towards solving some of the deepest mysteries of the universe, and how the LHC will be searching for a potential fifth force of nature.

CBS Eye on the World with John Batchelor CBS Audio Network @Batchelorshow Flashes of Creation: George Gamow, Fred Hoyle, and the Great Big Bang Debate, by Paul Halpern   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PV5CLZQ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 A respected physics professor and author breaks down the great debate over the Big Bang and the continuing quest to understand the fate of the universe. Today, the Big Bang is so entrenched in our understanding of the cosmos that to doubt it would seem crazy. But as Paul Halpern shows in Flashes of Creation, just decades ago its mere mention caused sparks to fly. At the center of the debate were the Russian-American physicist George Gamow and the British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle. Gamow insisted that a fiery explosion explained how the elements of the universe were created. Attacking the idea as half-baked, Hoyle countered that the universe was engaged in a never-ending process of creation. The battle was fierce. In the end, Gamow turned out to be right—mostly—and Hoyle, along with his many achievements, is remembered for giving the theory the silliest possible name: "the Big Bang." Halpern captures the brilliance of both thinkers and reminds us that even those proven wrong have much to teach us about boldness, imagination, and the universe, itself. ..

Unglaubliche Forschung: Wie das Higgs Boson den "Dunklen Sektor" enthüllt Es könnte eine Welt existieren die sich der "dunkle Sektor" nennt. Klingt wie aus einem Science-Fiction Film, ich weiß, doch viele Wissenschaftler glauben, dem Higgs-Boson, seinen dunklen Zwilling entziehen zu können und den dunklen Sektor zu enthüllen. Das Universum folgt leider nicht immer den Wünschen und Hoffnungen vieler Physiker. Man sucht man mitteln und wegen unsere Fragen zu beantworten, eines dieser Wege ist der LHC, Large Hadron Collider, auf den viele der Physiker Ihre Hoffnung setzten. Der weltweit leistungsstärkste Teilchenbeschleuniger, der Large Hadron Collider (LHC) im CERN-Labor in der Nähe von Genf, hat jedoch keines der erhofften Teilchen gefunden, die Physiker über das Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik hinausführen würden. Aber es ist dennoch möglich, dass der LHC die ganze Zeit über, genau diese wichtigen neuen Teilchen produziert hat wir es einfach nicht mitbekommen haben.

In this episode Myra, Desi & Mojo discuss how back in 2014, renowned scientist Stephen Hawkins issued a stern warning in his book Starmus that the god particle may end up destroying the universe, a concern shared by many other physicists. The main worry is the creation of these microscopic black holes that would grow and eventually decay the earth from the inside. So what is the Cern Machine specifically it is a Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland, It lies in a tunnel 27 kilometers (17 mi) in circumference and as deep as 175 meters (574 ft) beneath the France - Switzerland Border near Geneva. This machine will start running again after a three-year shutdown and delays due to the covid-19 pandemic? The particle collider – known for its role in the discovery of the Higgs boson, which gives mass to all other fundamental particles – will return in 2022 with upgrades that give it a power boost. This includes mysteries that have plagued physicists for decades, such as the so-called hierarchy problem, which deals with the vast discrepancy between the mass of the Higgs and those of other fundamental particles, plus dark energy and dark matter, the unexplained phenomena that make up most of the universe. The religious community is generally suspicious of CERN activities, and question what does the statue of the Hindu god Lord Shiva (“god of Destruction”) that is prominently displayed outside of the LHC has to do with science. Also, they note how CERN is located in a place that was once called “Appolliacum” (“Apollyon” in Greek means “destruction”) in Roman times where they believed was a gateway to the underworld. Given scientists refer to black holes as " Bottomless Pitt” of gravity, and coupled with discussion of opening a doorway into another dimension, many point to warnings in the Book of Revelation: “And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. And he opened the bottomless pit…And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth…”( Revelation 9:1-3). In the book of Revelations Saint John refers to a time when Satan is given the key to the “bottomless pit” to release a horde of demonic beings resembling locusts upon the world, and some wonder if this Biblical event is connected to the CERN experiments.

In this episode, Myra & Mojo talk about how the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built. The accelerator sits in a tunnel 100 meters underground at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. they also discuss how The name Easter is never associated with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in the original Scriptures and is actually derived from the word "Eostre." Eostre was Queen Semiramis, the wife of Nimrod, Noah's evil but enterprising great-grandson (Genesis 10:6-8). They will also discuss if Call Of Duty Cold War Zombies if the Forsaken map which is based off when Zykov entered the Dark Aether, over forty years of corruption, he would be transformed into a monstrous, malignant Elder God. With this new stage in his life, he named himself as The Forsaken, in reference to his abandonment by Lazarev and much more. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

How do you build and maintain a complex suite of Python packages? Of course, you want to put them on PyPI. The best format there is as a wheel. This means that when developers use your code, it comes straight down and requires no local tooling to install and use. But if you have compiled dependencies, such as C or FORTRAN, then you have a big challenge. How do you automatically compile and test against Linux, macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon), Windows, and so on? That's the problem cibuildwheel is solving. On this episode, you'll meet Henry Schreiner. He is developing tools for the next era of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and is an admin of Scikit-HEP. Of course, cibuildwheel is central to this process.

In this episode, I converse with Yangyang Cheng, a Postdoctoral Fellow at Yale Law School's Paul Tsai China Center. Before joining Yale, she worked on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for over a decade and was a postdoctoral research associate at Cornell University and an LHC Physics Center Distinguished Researcher at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Yangyang received her Ph.D. in physics from the University of Chicago in 2015, and her Bachelor's in Science from the University of Science and Technology of China's School for the Gifted Young. Yangyang is a regular columnist for SupChina and her writings have also appeared in The New York Times, The Guardian, Los Angeles Review of Books, VICE World News, Foreign Policy, MIT Technology Review, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, ChinaFile, and other publications. Yangyang currently studies the ethics and governance of science in China and their global implications. We indulge in a splendid conversation on her extremely interesting and riveting journey through science and life; early fascinations about the fundamental questions of the universe and abstractions; pursuing Physics in a manner akin to a world-class athlete; her time on the ATLAS and CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC); exceptional mentors who inspired her; navigating rejections in life; diving into China studies straight from particle physics; future of fundamental curiosity-driven research; and many more things!!

Ein internationales Forschungsteam hat ein Mini-Hybrid-Beschleuniger entwickelt, der nur wenige Zentimeter groß ist und Laser- und Elektronenstrahl kombiniert. Damit lassen sich Teilchen auf Lichtgeschwindigkeit bringen. Damit ist der Miniatur-Plasmabeschleuniger nicht nur bei geringer Größe enorm leistungsfähig, sondern die Technologie ist zudem auch kostengünstiger als die üblichen, großen Teilchenbeschleuniger, wie zum Beispiel der Large Hadron Collider (LHC) am CERN.

This week, the inside story of how scientists working at Cern's Large Hadron Collider found tantalising new evidence which could mean we have to rethink what we know about the universe. And an update on the situation for Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh after a deadly fire swept through a refugee camp there. Welcome to episode 9 of The Conversation Weekly, the world explained by experts.In late March, particle physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a massive particle accelerator at Cern in Geneva, announced, tentatively, that they'd had a bit of a breakthrough. If what they think they've seen is proven correct, it could mean evidence for brand new physics – perhaps even a new force of nature. We get the inside story from Harry Cliff, a particle physicist at the University of Cambridge who works on the LHCb, one of Cern's four giant experiments. And Celine Boehm, professor and head of physics at the University of Sydney, explains the bigger picture of where this all fits into the world of theoretical physics, including the ongoing hunt for dark matter.In our second story, Rubayat Jesmin, a PhD candidate at Binghamton University in New York explains why the situation got even more precarious situation for hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar, after a fire ripped through one of the camps where many were living in Bangladesh.And Nehal El-Hadi, science and technology editor at The Conversation in Toronto, gives us some recommended reading.

Andrey Golutvin is a Professor at Imperial College London, Doctor of Physics and Mathematics. He is a globally renowned specialist in the area of elementary particle physics. Under his direct guidance, a series of studies of third-generation lepton features were conducted, and B-meson oscillations were discovered. A large value of B-meson oscillations opens up great opportunities for examining the phenomenon of CP-parity non-preservation, which resulted in creating specialized B-mezon factories and installing LHCb on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN). He made a significant contribution to developing the methodologies of fast, radiation-protected scintillation electromagnetic calorimeters. Under his direct guidance, the LHCb unit was successfully launched, and several most exact results of checking a standard model in heavy quark decays globally were obtained. He is a regular speaker at international conferences, including with his plenary reports at the largest, so-called Rochester Conferences on High Energy Physics in 2000 and 2010. He gave lectures at the Department of Elementary Particle Physics at MIPT and currently gives lectures at Imperial College London as a professor for the Department of High Energy Physics. ================================ SUPPORT & CONNECT: Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/denofrich Twitter: https://twitter.com/denofrich Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/denofrich YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/denofrich Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/den_of_rich/ Hashtag: #denofrich © Copyright 2022 UHNWI data.

He gave lectures at the Department of Elementary Particle Physics at MIPT and currently gives lectures at Imperial College London as a professor for the Department of High Energy Physics.Andrey focused on searches for new fundamental particles which are very weakly-interacting. Motivated by the lack of evidence for new heavy particles, he proposed the Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) experiment to search for light, new particles in 2013 and this is currently his main research activity.The SHiP experiment has a window of opportunity to lead to fundamental findings on a timescale of < 10 years. The potential discovery of New Physics by SHiP may lead to a complete change of direction in high energy physics and, in particular, may prove that newhigh energy colliders are not needed to uncover the origin of neutrino masses, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the Universe.SHiP has instigated a number of pioneering developments that make it possible to construct a large-scale, background-free, high-precision detector operating in beam-dump mode with the full power of the SPS accelerator at CERN. This puts SHiP in an outstanding position world-wide to make a break-through in the domain of particle masses and couplings that are not accessible to the energy and precision frontier experiments, and potentially find the particles that lead to neutrino masses and oscillations, explain baryon asymmetry of the Universe, and shed new light on the properties of dark matter.SHiP has received a large amount of attention from the particle physics community ever since its inception. In the 2019-2020 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, Dark Matter and Feebly Interacting Particles took a prominent position for the first time, and SHiP was ranked as a mature and competitive project ready for implementation. The preparatory evaluation of experiments complementary to the high energy frontier, singled out SHiP and the associated Beam Dump Facility (BDF) as a major potential player in the search for Feebly Interacting Particles.SHiP is currently a collaboration of 53 institutes and 4 associated institutes, in total representing 18 countries, CERN and JINR. Currently, SHiP's central challenge consists in finding the resources required to take advantage of the time-limited opportunity that exists to launch SHiP's data-taking before the end of this decade. The total cost of the project is about 220 MCHF, including 150 MCHF for the Beam Dump Facility and 70 MCHF for the SHiP detector.CERN committees have endorsed the SHiP science case. In order to obtain the seal of approval to the project and start the construction of the BDF, three key concepts have to be proven with prototypes, namely the ultra-high efficiency for slow extraction and delivery of the SPS beam, the extreme conditions for the high-density proton target, and the unprecedented background suppression through the use of an active muon shield. The CERN Medium Term Plan of this year allocates sufficient resources to complete the R&D studies of the beam line and the target. The construction of the muon shield prototype and study of its performance is led by the group from Imperial College London and requires funding at the level of ~3 MCHF during next 2-3 years

With a circumference of over 62 miles, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) would be four times bigger and six times more powerful than the current particle-smashing machine and cost $23 billion dollars. The FCC's $23 billion cost will require investment from EU member states and Cern participants, along with a commitment to continue funding into the 2050s. Cern may also need to turn to other nations for financial help, including the US, China, and Japan. The new super-collider would also allow scientists to study more precisely how Higgs bosons decay—some theorize that they decay into dark matter particles. The current Large Hadron Collider is in the process of being upgraded and is due to restart in May next year, running until the end of 2024. Its final run is expected to begin at the end of 2027. Higgs Boson The story goes that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman (died October 2018 at age 96) referred to the Higgs as the "Goddamn Particle." The nickname was meant to poke fun at how difficult it was to detect the particle. It took nearly half a century and a multi-billion dollar particle accelerator to do it. The Higgs is the particle which gives other particles their mass, making it both centrally important and seemingly magical. We tend to think of mass as an intrinsic property of all things, yet physicists believe that without the Higgs boson, mass fundamentally doesn't exist. THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER JUST DISCOVERED A BRAND-NEW PARTICLE Link: https://futurism.com/the-byte/large-hadron-collider-discovered-brand-new-particle Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider just discovered a brand-new kind of subatomic particle — and its composition is a baffling world-first. The yet-unnamed particle is the first — that we know of — to be entirely made up of the same kind of quark, which is a building block for subatomic particles. “Today's discovery opens another exciting chapter in this scientific book, allowing us to study our theory of matter particles in an extreme case,” spokesperson Chris Parkes said in the release. "Today's discovery opens another exciting chapter in this scientific book, allowing us to study our theory of matter particles in an extreme case. This particle is an extreme case—it is an exotic-hadron, containing four quarks rather than the two or three in conventional matter particles, and the first to contain heavy quarks. "Studying an extreme system allows scientists to stress-test our theories. Through the study of this particle, and the hope that we will discover further particles in this class in this future, we will test our theory of how quarks combine which also governs protons and neutrons." The LHC is most famous for its measurements that led to the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson particle, the last missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. The Higgs boson, along with the associated Higgs field, is the origin of the mass of all subatomic fundamental particles. The search for the Higgs boson was not the only reason this facility was built. More broadly, the LHC was built to study deep scientific questions. For example, why are the laws of nature the way they are? How did the universe come into existence? And does the universe have to be the way it is? SCIENTISTS SAY THEY'VE FOUND THE EXACT CENTER OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM Link: https://futurism.com/the-byte/scientists-found-exact-center-solar-system For the first time, scientists have managed to find our solar system's precise center of gravity down to about 100 meters — a flabbergastingly precise measurement on the scale of our vast solar system. Slight Drift With all those gravitational tugs — especially Jupiter's particularly strong pull — accounted for, the real center of gravity in our solar system lies just above the Sun's surface, according to research published in The Astrophysical Journal. “Using the pulsars we observe across the Milky Way galaxy, we are trying to be like a spider sitting in stillness in the middle of her web,” NASA astronomer Stephen Taylor said in a press release. “How well we understand the solar system barycenter is critical as we attempt to sense even the smallest tingle to the web.” Show Stuff Join the episode after party on Discord!

With a circumference of over 62 miles, the Future Circular Collider (FCC) would be four times bigger and six times more powerful than the current particle-smashing machine and cost $23 billion dollars. The FCC's $23 billion cost will require investment from EU member states and Cern participants, along with a commitment to continue funding into the 2050s. Cern may also need to turn to other nations for financial help, including the US, China, and Japan. The new super-collider would also allow scientists to study more precisely how Higgs bosons decay—some theorize that they decay into dark matter particles. The current Large Hadron Collider is in the process of being upgraded and is due to restart in May next year, running until the end of 2024. Its final run is expected to begin at the end of 2027. Higgs Boson The story goes that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Leon Lederman (died October 2018 at age 96) referred to the Higgs as the "Goddamn Particle." The nickname was meant to poke fun at how difficult it was to detect the particle. It took nearly half a century and a multi-billion dollar particle accelerator to do it. The Higgs is the particle which gives other particles their mass, making it both centrally important and seemingly magical. We tend to think of mass as an intrinsic property of all things, yet physicists believe that without the Higgs boson, mass fundamentally doesn't exist. THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER JUST DISCOVERED A BRAND-NEW PARTICLE Link: https://futurism.com/the-byte/large-hadron-collider-discovered-brand-new-particle Physicists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider just discovered a brand-new kind of subatomic particle — and its composition is a baffling world-first. The yet-unnamed particle is the first — that we know of — to be entirely made up of the same kind of quark, which is a building block for subatomic particles. “Today's discovery opens another exciting chapter in this scientific book, allowing us to study our theory of matter particles in an extreme case,” spokesperson Chris Parkes said in the release. "Today's discovery opens another exciting chapter in this scientific book, allowing us to study our theory of matter particles in an extreme case. This particle is an extreme case—it is an exotic-hadron, containing four quarks rather than the two or three in conventional matter particles, and the first to contain heavy quarks. "Studying an extreme system allows scientists to stress-test our theories. Through the study of this particle, and the hope that we will discover further particles in this class in this future, we will test our theory of how quarks combine which also governs protons and neutrons." The LHC is most famous for its measurements that led to the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson particle, the last missing piece of the Standard Model of particle physics. The Higgs boson, along with the associated Higgs field, is the origin of the mass of all subatomic fundamental particles. The search for the Higgs boson was not the only reason this facility was built. More broadly, the LHC was built to study deep scientific questions. For example, why are the laws of nature the way they are? How did the universe come into existence? And does the universe have to be the way it is?

The physics of elementary particles is governed by symmetries. A particular symmetry stands out: the one between left and right, called parity. Its breaking in beta decay created a bombshell more than fifty years ago, and ultimately led to the creation of the Standard Model of particle interactions, whose final crowning confirmation is to be provided by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The Standard Model is based on the premise of parity being broken al- ways, at all energies. I argue, on the contrary, that in nature left-right symmetry is fundamental, and that at high energies of the LHC one could actually see its restoration in full glory. I show how this would probe the nature of neutrino, through the spectacular signatures of lepton number violation.

In 2012, physicists at large particle accelerators such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) found evidence of the Higgs boson, long predicted by the Standard Model in physics. But since then, they have yet to find evidence of other predicted particles.Dante Amidei, U-M Professor of Physics Aaron Pierce, U-M Professor of Physics and Director of the Michigan Center for Theoretical PhysicsFor more information on future Science Cafes, please visit our website. 

1813 American flotilla under Oliver Hazard Perry wrests naval supremacy from the British on Lake Erie. Nine vessels of the United States Navy defeated and captured six vessels of the British Royal Navy. This ensured American control of the lake for the rest of the war, which in turn allowed the Americans to recover Detroit and win the Battle of the Thames to break the Indian confederation of Tecumseh. It was one of the biggest naval battles of the War of 1812. The Americans controlled Lake Erie for the remainder of the war. This accounted for much of the Americans' successes on the Niagara peninsula in 1814 and also removed the threat of a British attack on Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Western New York. 1897 First Drunk Driving Arrest. A 25-year-old London taxi driver named George Smith becomes the first person ever arrested for drunk driving after slamming his cab into a building. Smith later pleaded guilty and was fined 25 shillings. 1967 Gibraltar votes to remain a British dependency instead of becoming part of Spain. The vote was overwhelming, with over 12,000 votes to remain, and only 44 votes to join Spain. The sovereignty of Gibraltar is a point of contention in Anglo-Spanish relations because Spain asserts a claim to the territory. In 1969, the Spanish government closed the border between Spain and Gibraltar, cutting off all contacts and severely restricting movement. The border was not fully reopened until February 1985. 1977 Last Person to be Executed in France, Hamida Djandoubi was also the last person to be executed by a guillotine. Djandoubi was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of 21-year old Elisabeth Bousquet. 2008 Scientists successfully flip the switch for the first time on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) lab in Geneva, kicking off what many called history's biggest science experiment. The world's largest particle collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). It is an 18-mile (27km) long experimental machine which passes through the French-Swiss border. The Collider was constructed to find the Higgs Boson particle, an elementary particle in physics.

Hundreds of physicists from Europe and beyond have met in Granada, Spain to develop a plan for a next-generation collider that will eventually supersede the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. One CERN proposal for a next-generation collider is the Future Circular Collider, which would have a 100 km circumference and collide protons at energies up to 100 TeV. In contrast, the LHC has a 27 km circumference and a collision energy of 13 TeV. Another CERN proposal is the Compact Linear Collider, which would smash together matter and antimatter. Could this bring about something prophetic?

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was built with one big goal in mind: to find the Higgs boson. It did just that in 2012. But the question on many physicists' minds about the LHC is, “What have you done for me lately?” Host Sarah Crespi talks with Staff Writer Adrian Cho about proposals to look at the showers of particles created by its proton collisions in new ways—from changing which events are recorded, to changing how the data are analyzed, even building more detectors outside of the LHC proper—all in the hopes that strange, longer-lived particles are being generated but missed by the current set up. Also this week, Sarah talks with Tian Li of the University of Maryland in College Park about a modified wood designed to passively cool buildings. Starting from its humble roots in the forest, the wood is given a makeover: First it is bleached white to eliminate pigments that absorb light. Next, it is hot pressed, which adds strength and durability. Most importantly, these processes allow the wood to emit in the middle-infrared range, so that when facing the sky, heat passes through the wood out to the giant heat sink of outer space.

Over the past two years, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has started to directly probe a qualitatively new class of interactions, associated with the Higgs boson. These interactions, called Yukawa interactions, are unlike any other interaction that we have probed at the quantum level before. In particular, unlike the electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, they have an interaction strength that does not come in multiples of some underlying unit charge. Yukawa interactions are believed to be of fundamental importance to the world as we know it, hypothesised, for example, to be responsible for the stability of the proton, and so the universe and life as we know it.

The world’s first interactive ‘Tactile Collider’, designed by visually impaired students, two scientists and a science teacher from the North-West, has created huge demand for an international science symposium Particle Colliders: Accelerating Innovation in Liverpool this week (22 March). The novel project uses 3D-printed magnets, whole body learning and ideas from an immersive zombie game app to communicate science, making it accessible to visually impaired and sighted students alike. The symposium aims to highlight progress on a successor to CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the benefits of discovery science to industry, science and society. RNIB Connect Radio's Simon Pauley spoke with Dr Chris Edmonds and Professor Carsten Welsch to find out more.

As moviegoers were mesmerized by the futuristic stories in Christopher Nolan's science fiction film Interstellar, Harvard University's theoretical physicist Lisa Randall says the high-grossing movie - even though "technically accurate" - failed to illustrate the type of extra dimensions she tries to picture in her own mind. "They have to make it [the fifth dimension] visible to people looking at the screen, which means that some of the subtle effects - that are on scales that you'd never be able to see with your naked eyes, won't be shown in the movie," Randall explains in a recent interview with China Money Network in Hong Kong during her trip in Asia. But as the Frank B. Baird Jr. Professor of Science at Harvard University with research interests in elementary particles, fundamental forces and extra dimensions of space, Randall appreciated how the movie inspired people's interests in science. That inspiration is critical in pushing scientific research forward, she believes. Outside of sci-fi movies, what China has done in practical measures is "inspirational" too, and could be "ground-breaking", Randall says. For example, China's ambitious plan in building the world's most powerful particle collider will produce something twice the size and seven times as powerful as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The planned particle collider, namely China Electron Positron Collider (CEPC), is a long-term project first proposed by the Chinese high energy physics community in 2012. It is a facility used to measure the precise properties of the Higgs boson, or the so-called "God particle", which is regarded as a crucial link that could explain why other elementary particles have mass. Scientists in China have released details for the collider, saying it will produce over one million Higgs bosons in a seven-year period. The project is expected to start construction in 2021 and be completed in 2027, and then put into operation one year after. "Just the idea that it might exist [in China in the future] already has been an incentive for many people to come here," said Randall. "The prospect of having this collider has brought a lot of American physicist who I know – I mean, maybe other countries as well – to China." Concerning the overall research environment in China, Randall says her main concern lays in the "hierarchical system" that she has observed. "It seems like it's an environment where there's one person who gets a lot of resources and people have to accommodate that," she says. Instead of focusing funding a few great scientists and let them have the right to determine everything, Randall believes that China should spread resources more widely, so that the young generation can be more independent and have a chance to lead new innovations. Lisa Randall is an American theoretical physicist working in particle physics and cosmology at Harvard University. Her research connects theoretical insights to puzzles in the current understanding of the properties and interactions of matter. She has developed and studied a wide variety of models to address these questions, most prominently involving extra dimensions of space. Read an interview Q&A below.

Q: If you look at the global top 20 best universities to study physics, twelve are American universities and only one university is from China, which is Tsinghua University. Why American universities are so strong in providing good physics research environment? And what should China do to improve this? A: Well, (American universities) have a longer history of doing this. I think it's only recently that China has had these very big modernization. One thing China is doing is promoting experiments and observations. There are dark matter experiments,

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the largest and most complex experiment ever built. It is located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland. What is it, and what does it do? Theoretical physicist Peter Skands will take us on a tour of the experiments performed there, and the laws of nature that they are built to push to the limit. This Sydney Ideas event was held on Tuesday 25 September, 2018 at the University of Sydney. https://sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/sydney-ideas/2018/why-the-large-hadron-collider-is-a-game-changer.html

More than 300 feet underground, looping underneath both France and Switzerland on the outskirts of Geneva, a 16-mile-long ring called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) smashes protons together at nearly the speed of light. Sifting through the wreckage, scientists have made some profound discoveries about the fundamental nature of our universe. But what if all that chaos underground is shrouding subtle hints of new physics? David Curtin, a postdoctoral researcher at the Maryland Center for Fundamental Physics here at UMD, has an idea for a detector that could be built at the surface—far away from the noise and shrapnel of the main LHC experiments. The project, which he and his collaborators call MATHUSLA, may resolve some of the mysteries that are lingering behind our best theories. This episode of Relatively Certain was produced by Chris Cesare, Emily Edwards, Sean Kelley and Kate Delossantos.

Astrophiz 31 is out now on iTunes and Soundcloud. Our feature interview is with Dr Elisabetta Barberio who explains a new Dark matter Experiment deep in a goldmine in South Eastern Australia. Elisabetta is a member of the Experimental Particle Physics Group at the University of Melbourne. Previously, she was a staff researcher at CERN, the European laboratory of Particle Physics. She was involved with data analysis in the OPAL experiment at the Large Electron Positron Collider at CERN, and has worked on the Higgs Boson and ATLAS, which is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Dr Ian Musgrave in our regular feature, ‘What’s up Doc?’ tells us what to look for in the night sky this week using naked eye, binoculars or telescopes, and Jupiter is ruling our skies. In the news: Dr Brad Tucker and ANU astronomers launch a Citizen Science project and public search of the southern skies for the elusive 'Planet Nine’ using data from the Skymapper telescope at Siding Springs in Australia. 2.The largest magnetic fields ever found in the universe are caused by collisions between immense galaxy clusters, and these giant magnetic fields are millions of light years across and 100 times larger than the Milky Way. 3. How to hunt for a black hole with a telescope the size of Earth. How do you photograph a black hole? Impossible you say? Inventive researchers have plans to do exactly that, and hope to grab the first images of an event horizon — the point of no return from the black hole at the centre of our Milky Way. 4. Using the Australian AAOmega+2dF Spectrograph and the Southern African Large Telescope astronomers have just discovered one of the most massive superclusters in the universe hiding behind the Milky Way in the constellation of Vela. This is a massive group of several galaxy clusters, each one containing hundreds or thousands of galaxies. The researchers estimate that this Vela supercluster could contain somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 trillion stars. Their calculations also show Vela is about 800 million light-years distant and zooming farther and farther away from us at a speed of about 40 million mph (18,000 kilometers per second).

In 2015, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) achieved a milestone, operating at the highest energy ever used by an accelerator experiment. Particle physicist James Beacham discusses what we’ve learned about gravitons, Higgs bosons, dark matter, and what’s next for the LHC. This lecture took place at the Hayden Planetarium on February 6, 2017. Support for Hayden Planetarium Programs is provided by the Horace W. Goldsmith Endowment Fund.

Dr. Michael Turner makes a “big bang” in the world of theoretical cosmology. Translation: He’s an expert on the universe—what it’s made of, what’s in its future, and how it came to be. Turner is the Rauner Distinguished Service Professor and Director of the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago. From 2003 until 2006, was Assistant Director for Mathematical and Physical Sciences for the National Science Foundation. He is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes, and he is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Michael Turner and Vera Rubben, who recently passed away. Turner is most well-known for having coined the phrase “dark energy” in 1998, which he calls “very, very mysterious stuff.” Thought to comprise 70 percent of the universe, dark energy is responsible for both the expansion of the universe and the increasing speed at which that expansion is occurring. Another five percent of the universe is atoms, and the remaining twenty-five percent is “dark matter”—what Turner calls “the cosmic infrastructure of the universe.” The universe, he adds, has largely “been a battle between the two dark titans: dark energy and dark matter.” “He [Turner] is able to explain the deepest issues in cosmology with a rare clarity and elegance,” says IHMC Director Ken Ford. “His research focuses on the earliest moments of creation.” With Chicago cosmologist Rocky Kolb, Turner co-wrote the well-known book “The Early Universe.” More information on Turner can be found here: https://kicp.uchicago.edu/people/profile/michael_turner.html and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Turner_(cosmologist). Turner’s 2011 IHMC lecture, “The Dark Side of the Universe,” can be viewed here: . Turner was also a guest on STEM-Talk for an earlier episode for his interview on the discovery of gravitational waves. Turner is interviewed by regular STEM-Talk host Dawn Kernagis and guest host Tom Jones, a veteran NASA astronaut and senior research scientist at IHMC. 00:37: Ken calls Dr. Michael Turner “exactly the right guy to talk to about dark energy and dark matter. After all, he coined the phrase dark energy. He is able to explain deepest issues in cosmology with a rare clarity and elegance.” 1:04: Ken pays tribute to Vera Rubin, who passed away on Christmas Day. She confirmed the existence of dark matter and transformed modern physics and astronomy. 2:24: Ken asks for feedback on STEM-Talk and reads 5-star iTunes review from BobRXUF: “With all of the garbage we are bombarded with, listening to STEM-Talk reminds me that there is higher intelligence, the hope for mankind.” 3:35: Dawn and Ken introduce Michael and talk about his background. 4:17: Dawn and Tom welcome Michael to STEM-Talk. 4:39: Tom asks Michael to give listeners the big picture about the structure of our universe and explain how we stumbled upon the phenomenon called dark matter and dark energy? 5:14: Michael explains that a half of one percent of the universe is in the form of stars. The other 99.5 percent is dark. 6:29: Michael talks about how dark matter matter provides the cosmic infrastructure of the universe. 7:45: “Our universe,” says Michael, “has really been a battle between the two dark titans: dark energy and dark matter.” 9:49: Michael explains that’s it’s the stars that give off energy and it’s the atoms we’re made of. “We’re the tip of the iceberg. We’re the special stuff.” 10:52: “Michael talks about producing dark matter particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator. 11:25: Tom asks Michael what was the original evidence for dark matter and dark energy and who were the people who made that discovery? 13:20: Michael describes how Vera Rubin, a scientist working at the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism at the Carnegie Institution of Washington,

Four breakout Christian apologists, no strangers to “fringe” topics, take a radical look at Cosmology based on new discoveries in physics and unconventional insights into the Bible. Each is noted for his willingness to tackle the challenges of secular skepticism and examine the intersections between modern science and the Bible. You will embark on an astounding adventure exploring the cosmos afresh, guided along by their unrestrained research as well as remarkable if not incredible conclusions. In Volume One of a two-volume study, the controversies of angelic incursions in humanity’s history and their impact on the human genome are considered. Also discussed: the nature of evil and the role that fallen angels and heavenly archons have played in the story of the Bible as well as rethinking Christology and the meaning of the Logos, contrasting with Gnostic and occult concepts of the demiurge. Here the authors demonstrate startling parallels to our day. In regards to modern physics, numerous timely topics are tackled which include: * Dangers of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the occult agenda behind humanity’s most powerful machine; and its link to the Tower of Babel; * Opening dimensional portals and its unknown effects, including awakening the creatures of the Abyss, and a possible connection to the planet Saturn; * Man-machine hybrids empowered by the Internet and threats presented to humankind from unrestrained advances in transhumanist research. * Challenges to Einstein’s standard model by the revolutionary concepts of the Electric Universe proposed by scientists at the Thunderbolts Project; * Theories about cosmic wars and the “real” star wars of ancient times.

In this episode we kick off trying to answer the question ‘what is an Arab' and Arab identity. The discussion automagically veers to the “genie” on Twitter. Ammar then quizzes our local theoretical physicist Reem on the science behind the flux capacitor from Back To The Future. Reem then tells us about her work at CERN and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC.) Which leads to particle physics, positrons, anti-matter and a lot of other mind-numbing physical concepts that Reem did a marvelous job explaining and graciously dealt with our stupid questions and Ammar's lame jokes.   30% Arabic – 70% English

Since the Garden of Eden the search for ideas, inventions, and excuses to challenge the instructions given by God has been rejected and manipulated by the enemy to persuade the hearts of mankind to become gods themselves. This seed of corruption started with an angel that had great prominence and position in the Kingdom of God, but through his pride and arrogance sin was brought forth and iniquity was revealed.----.....................----In 1954 a European research organization was formed that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. This organization was formed and given the titled CERN which is an acronym for -Counsel European Research Nuclear-. CERN is located in a northwest suburb of Geneva located on the Franco-Swiss border and has 21 European member states, including Israel, which is the first and currently only non-European country granted full membership.----CERN's main function is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research - as a result, numerous experiments have been constructed at CERN as a result of international collaborations.----You might find it interesting to know that The World Wide Web began as a CERN project named ENQUIRE, it was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 and Robert Cailliau in 1990.----Most of the activities at CERN currently involve operating the Large Hadron Collider -LHC-, and the experiments for it.

Der Large Hadron Collider (LHC) vom CERN, dem Europäischen Labor für Elementarteilchenforschung in Genf/Schweiz, liegt 50 bis 150 Meter tief unter der Erde in einem kreisförmigen Tunnel und hat eine Länge von 27 Kilometern. Die Protonen, die im LHC eingesetzt werden, stammen aus einer Gasflasche mit Wasserstoff am Beginn eines mehrteiligen Beschleunigerkomplexes. Nachdem die Protonen mehrere Vorbeschleuniger durchlaufen haben, leiten Technikerinnen und Techniker aus dem Kontrollzentrum des CERN sie in den LHC. Dieser beschleunigt die beiden Teilchenströme, die in entgegengesetzte Richtungen verlaufen, bis sie nahezu Lichtgeschwindigkeit haben. In Detektoren, riesigen Messgeräten, werden die Ströme zur Kollision gebracht.

In this talk Nazim Hussain, Oxford University, will provide an introduction to matter and antimatter and the interplay between them. As far as we can tell, our universe is filled with galaxies and planets (and people) all of which are made of matter. But, our universe could have been absolutely empty with nothing in it at all! In this talk, I will provide an introduction to matter and antimatter and the interplay between them. I shall also explain how the fact that we live in a universe filled with matter is one of the mysteries of modern physics, a puzzle that particle physicists are trying to resolve using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at the CERN laboratory.

Each year, for about four weeks at a time, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is configured to collide heavy nuclei producing beams with energy perhaps never before present in the Universe. We use large particle detectors and frontier experimental techniques to understand properties of quark gluon plasma (QGP), a new phase of matter recreated in these experiments. It is very likely that QGP was present in early Universe, till about 30 microsecond after the Big Bang. In this talk I will introduce the overall laboratory research program and present some of recent results. QGP is formed in laboratory with temperature millions times the temperature in the interior of the Sun and it exhibits many unusual properties which I will describe. For example, QGP is capable to slow down or absorb very energetic partons and significantly modify the production of particles containing heavy bottom and charm quarks. I will also discuss the relevance of the anisotropy in particle production to diagnose properties of strongly interacting matter.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is opening the way for the search for new phenomena. The Philosophical Transactions A issue "Physics at the High Energy Frontier - The Large Hadron Collider Project" brings together papers from a discussion meeting that review the present state of knowledge of particle physics and the early results from the experiments at the LHC.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is estimated to produce 15 petabytes of data per year. This is difficult to store let alone understand! With connected devices quickly out numbering connected people, we are soon going to be swamped with data. Visualising the constant stream of information we are collecting so that it can be better understood is going to be a critical task. In this presentation, I’ll walk you through a quick overview of some basic chart and graph design, then look at how easy it is to write some quick scripts in your favourite language to produce beautiful graphics. SVG is an under-​​​​rated technology, but it can be created programmatically and quickly to visualise data. Brian Suda is an informatician residing in Reykjavík, Iceland. He has spent a good portion of each day connected to Internet after discovering it back in the mid-​​1990s. Most recently, he has written a book on the topic of charts and graphs entitled Designing with Data. His own little patch of Internet can be found at suda​.co​.uk where many past projects and crazy ideas can be found.

You've probably read about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It's the largest (17 miles around!), most expensive (9 billion dollars!) scientific instrument in history. What's it do? It accelerates beams of tiny particles (protons) to nearly the speed of light and then smashes them into one another. That's cool, you say, but why? Well, the simple answer is this: it was built to test the validity of the way most physicists understand the origins and essence of everything, that is, the “standard model.” You see, the standard model has a big gap in it: it can't explain why certain essential particles have mass. In the 1960s, however, a group of theoretical physicists proposed an answer. These massive particles, they said, were bathed in a dense, universal field of other particles, now called “Higgs bosons.” The field gives them mass. To draw an analogy (always a dangerous thing to do in physics…), particles like protons have mass for the same reason straws stand up in milkshakes–they are “packed in,” so to say. The trouble, to continue this awkward analogy, is that no one has ever “seen” the milkshake. The scientists working at the LHC are trying to find it. If they do, the standard model remains standard and Nobel Prizes all 'round. If not, well, back to the drawing board. Ian Sample does a masterful job of telling the tale of the quest for the Higgs boson (aka the “God particle”) in his new book Massive: The Missing Particle that Sparked the Greatest Hunt in Science (Basic Books, 2010). You don't need to know a thing about physics (though the author clearly does) to enjoy it. Sample has a talent for explaining things that are often obscured by mathematics (a kind of crutch, I think, for many scientists) in straightforward English prose. This skill, combined with the fact that Sample is a great storyteller with a great story to tell, make Massive an excellent read. You may not have liked science in school, but trust me when I say you'll very much enjoy the history of science in the hands of Ian Sample.

The first seminar in this Series took place on Thursday 18 November 2010 at the Lighthouse. The ATLAS Collaboration will conduct experiments at the very edge of science, using one of four detectors located on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The Collaboration consists of over 3000 scientist working in over 174 research institutes and universities located in 38 countries around the globe. In such a complex and spatially extended network (what we would today call a complex adaptive system) how do the knowledge flows allow the creation of one of the most sophisticated technological objects ever built? Drawing on a conceptual framework, the Information-Space or I-Space, Max Boisot described and tried to make sense of the ATLAS collaboration’s culture. He explored the lessons that the management of globally distributed ‘big science’ projects such as the ATLAS collaboration hold for other complex adaptive systems such as cities.

Programa 15. Neste programa, os professores do Depto. de Física da UFRGS, Magno Machado, Dimiter Hadjimichef, Jeferson Arenzon e Marco A. Idiart conversam sobre o Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Quais são os grandes avanços esperados? Quais são os riscos envolvidos (mini-buracos negros, etc)?

In November of 2009, CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is scheduled for completion. With it, physicists from around the world hope to answer, well, everything. More accurately, it is hoped that a unified theory of everything (TOE) will emerge that describes the nature of all things, from the very small to the very large. As things stand now, separate theories can predict interactions between elementary particles, for example, and between planets, but not both – the theories do not scale and are, consequently, incomplete or even flawed. With a theory of everything, it is hoped that we can explain gravity, dark matter/energy, the origins of our universe, and much more. Personally, I'm holding my breath for a scientific explanation of Jeri Curl, if such knowledge won't threaten to destroy our reality. This track is a celebration of CERN's Large Hadron Collider, with just a dash of sexual innuendo thrown in for good measure. Not to worry, I steered well clear of the cliche "black hole" double-entendres, as should you. Warp speed, Mr. Sulu!

Episode 23 of Books and Ideas is an interview with Frank Wilczek, PhD. Dr. Wilczek won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2004 and is the author of the new book Lightness of Being: Mass, Ether, and the Unification of Forces. In this interview Dr. Campbell asks him to explain some of the key ideas that drive his work and he helps us understand why he considers the new Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland the greatest achievement of modern science.For show notes and episode transcripts go to http://booksandideas.com/.Send email to gincampbell at mac dot com.Contributions can be made via PayPal and directly to:Virginia Campbell, MDBrain Science Podcast9340 Helena, RD, Suite F #320Birmingham, AL, 35244

Last week the largest particle accelerator in the world was unveiled and switched on. It didn't destroy the world like the media were trying claim it would but there is still a chance for that as the real experiments do not start until October! So now is the time to learn all about it so that you will know what caused the black hole that will inevitably swallow you up in October! The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons (one of several types of hadrons) with very high kinetic energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will confirm the existence of the Higgs boson. This would supply a crucial missing link in the Standard Model and explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass.

This thesis describes the search for the Higgs boson in H->WW(*) decays in proton anti-proton collisions with data taken at the D0 experiment at the Tevatron collider. The data set was taken between April 2002 and September 2003 and has an integrated luminosity of approximately 147 pb^-1. An analysis of the di-muon decay channel of the W pairs was developed which can be scaled to higher luminosities up to the full data set to be taken until 2009 at the Tevatron collider. The number of events observed in the current data set is consistent with expectations from standard model backgrounds. Since no excess is observed, cross-section limits at 95% confidence level for H->WW(*) production have been calculated both standalone and also in combination with other lepton decay channels. The production of W pairs is one major background in the search of H->WW(*) decays. Hence a first measurement of the WW production cross-section with the D0 experiment is presented. Experience gained during this analysis has shown the precise track reconstruction is an essential tool for both measurements. This thesis closes with a contribution to precise tracking in the ATLAS experiment at the future Large Hadron Collider (LHC). An alignment system for ATLAS muon drift chambers at the cosmic ray measurement facility at LMU Munich is presented.
