The grid that will process data from the Large Hadron Collider has undergone stress testing, with Cern and other organisations trying to gauge its limits. The tests, called Scale Testing for the ...

Back in the 1990s and the 2000s, the United States was the energy leader in high-energy physics. By accelerating protons and antiprotons to collide at 2 TeV of combined energy -- at speeds of ...

The Higgs appeared in the second run of the LHC about twice as fast as it did in the first. The Higgs boson is peeking out of the new data collected during the second run of the Large Hadron Collider, ...

During the last four years, LHC scientists have filled in gaps in our knowledge and tested the boundaries of the Standard Model. Today operators guided this year's last beam of particles out of ...

The LHC isn’t simply the most powerful particle accelerator ever created. Handling the huge amounts of data it produces has required the creation of one of the biggest computer grids on the planet.

Late last year, two different instruments at the massive, subatomic particle-smashing Large Hadron Collider saw … something. No one knows what the so-called bump in the data was—it came from pairs of ...

The Large Hadron Collider has generated a staggering amount of data in its years of operation; it’s enough data that we’ll be analyzing it for years after the collider shuts down. In the meantime, ...
