Topic of the moment: Particle detection
With CERN’s Large Hadron Collider having reached a data milestone and amid reports of the possible discovery of previously unknown particles by the Tevatron, we take a look at the physics of particle detection. In June, the total data accumulated by the Large Hadron Collider at CERN reached one “inverse femtobarn” of data, equivalent to [...]
In March’s issue of Physics World: Meeting the Higgs hunters
With CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) now being fired up after its winter shutdown, physicists at the Geneva lab are gearing up for the first signs of the Higgs boson — the never-before-seen particle that is one of the LHC’s main goals. But how will physicists at the LHC know for sure when they have [...]
