CERN has begun disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider
CERN has started replacing some of the Large Hadron Collider’s most important magnets as part of its High-Luminosity upgrade. The new superconducting magnets will produce fields about 40% stronger, allowing particle beams to be squeezed more tightly before they collide. That should create far more collisions for the ATLAS and CMS experiments to analyze, giving physicists...
Key Takeaways
- CERN has started replacing some of the Large Hadron Collider’s most important magnets as part of its High-Luminosity upgrade.
- The new superconducting magnets will produce fields about 40% stronger, allowing particle beams to be squeezed more tightly before they collide.
- That should create far more collisions for the ATLAS and CMS experiments to analyze, giving physicists a much larger window into the fundamental workings of the universe.
