Welcoem to posts!!
in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
So it begins… the heavy-ion run at the #LHC 💪
Recently, a new heavy-ion run began at the LHC, smashing together lead ions, containing 208 nucleons (82 protons and 126 neutrons), at an energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair.
The Large Hadron Collider #LHC is like an immensely powerful kitchen, designed to cook up some of the rarest and hottest recipes in the #Universe, like the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter known to have existed shortly after the Big Bang. While the LHC mostly collides protons, once a year it collides heavy ions – such as lead nuclei – a key ingredient for preparing this primordial soup.
For the next 15 days, every minute counts to take lead–lead collision #data.

Happy Halloween! 🎃
But did you know that physicists like to celebrate it as #DarkMatterDay?

A testing ground for #HiLumiLHC
The inner-triplet string, or IT-string, replicates magnet, powering and protection technologies designed for the high-luminosity upgrade of the #LargeHadronCollider. It is where several pieces of our #HiLumiPuzzle will come together for a first fully integrated validation.
The most recent addition to the IT-string was the innovative cold powering system, which includes the well-known ‘python’ or superconducting link. This important milestone follows the installation of the warm powering and protection system and precedes the installation of the final focusing quadrupole magnets, or ‘‘inner triplets’.

Today, the LHC receives the first stable beams of 2024 - a few short weeks after the first #BeamTime of the year and after several weeks of getting the #LHC ready for chapter three of #LHCRun3.
While we appreciate the excitement for the upcoming #solareclipse, CERN's accelerator complex moves on a different schedule than the geometry of the #Universe. 😉

Introducing NERDS
On the occasion of CERN’s 70th anniversary, the Organization will change its name to ‘Network of Experiments for Research and Development in Society (NERDS)'. The name change comes as a result of reflecting our new role in society and encapsulates the nature of the Laboratory today.
The new name will come into force on 1 October 2024, at the Laboratory’s 70th birthday party.

Unconventional music @CERN
To celebrate the 100th year anniversary of Einstein’s @NobelPrize, CERN, in collaboration with the Swedish Embassy in Bern (@SwedeninCH), hosted an unconventional musical event back in October, featuring Swedish artist Henrik Rylander on the theremin and Swiss artist Roland Bucher on the noise table, in musical conversation with musicians among CERN scientists.
The performances were preceded by talks from Professor Brian Foster and Dr. Domenico Vicinanza.
Do you know what a theremin is? Tell us in the comments 👇

The first meeting of the Muon Collider Collaboration takes place at CERN
The interest in the #muon #collider has been recently revived, as a #sustainable path towards very-high energy and a promising option for the future of high-energy physics.

#CERN is the European laboratory for particle physics, home to the Large Hadron Collider. Here, scientists study the fundamental particles that make up the world around us, working to find out what the Universe is made of and how it works. The world's largest and most complex scientific instruments are used to study the basic constituents of matter. By studying what happens when these particles collide, physicists learn about the laws of Nature.
