LHC data after Oct 21
Permalink  
 


Scientists around the world can sift through data from the World`s biggest physics experiment Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva in Switzerland only after October 21 when two protons of high energy will begin colliding at higher energy levels, according to Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Institute scientists.

Scientists have successfully test fired the first beam of protons around the underground tunnel below the Swiss-French border. The Large Hadron Collider - a multi-billion particle accelerator - was switched on at 07:30 GMT.
The event marks the start of the biggest experiment in physics for a generation. The experiment is hoped to shed light on the origins of the universe.

Three decades after it was conceived, the world's most powerful physics experiment is ready to be powered up.
Engineers will attempt to circulate a beam of particles around the 27km-long underground tunnel which houses the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The sum of human knowledge could be massively increased on Wednesday - but Professor Stephen Hawking could find himself $100 poorer.
As Cern prepares to switch on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) below the French-Swiss border, the physicist has a bet that it will not find the Higgs boson - the most highly sought-after particle in physics.

At 9 a.m. Switzerland time on Sept. 10, scientists in Geneva will flip a switch (or possibly type a command) -- and if all goes as planned, the first beam will circulate through the giant new particle accelerator known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
To mark the occasion -- and to explain what it all means -- the physics department will hold a public forum at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 9 in Rockefeller Hall's Schwartz Auditorium.

The field of particle physics is poised to enter unknown territory with the startup of a massive new accelerator--the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)--in Europe this summer. On September 10, LHC scientists will attempt to send the first beam of protons speeding around the accelerator.

September 2008 will see particle physicists setting protons on a collision course through the Large Hadron Collider with more energy than ever before. Their intention is to track down the Higgs boson and solve the problem of why the universe contains almost no antimatter. Physicists from theMax Planck Institute for Physics and theMax Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics are playing a crucial role in the experiments and their preparation.

When the Large Hadron Collider comes into operation in September 2008, it will begin to produce an expected 15 million gigabytes of data every year, enough information to create a 21-kilometre-high stack of CDs annually.
On 3rd October we announce the readiness of the LHC Computing Grid (LCG), an e-infrastructure conceived and designed to support this data challenge, and with it the research of more than 9000 physicists around the globe.
