The European Organization for Nuclear Research (EONR) has restarted the Large Hadron Collider. New observations are being made.
The European organization, also known as CERN, operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world.
CERN is a provider of infrastructure for high-energy Physics and particle accelerators.
Today, collisions occurred at an unprecedented energy level at the Large Hadron Collider LHC (LHC), which was closed three years ago.
Three never-before-seen particles have been discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), after Run 3 began.
The international LHCb collaboration observed the first-ever pair of “tetraquarks,”A new type of “pentaquark,”According toCERN’s website, and the findings were presented at the CERN seminar today.

Continue reading Robert Cailliau: Who are you?
It attracted over 380 web pioneers. This was a significant turning point in internet development.
Cailliau was not only an esteemed computer scientist but also wrote the book.How the Web Was Bornin 2000.
He went on early retirement in 2007 after dedicating his time to public communication.
Who is Robert Cailliau?
Robert Cailliau collaborated with Berners-Lee on the world wide web and created its iconic WWW logo.
The Belgian proposed the first hypertext system for CERN in 1987 which would go on to develop the internet as we know it.
He likewise organised the first Internation World Wide Web Conference at CERN in 1994.
ENQUIRE wasn’t very accessible
However, ENQUIRE wasn’t up to scratch for what the internet inventor had envisioned and he came back to CERN in 1984 to work on the system.
He realized that he wanted the world wide web to be similar to this prototype “but accessible to everybody”.
What was ENQUIRE?
Berners-Lee wrote his first proposal for the internet at CERN in 1989, but refined it with Belgian systems engineer Robert Cailliau the year after.
Yet, the scientist had previously made an early predecessor of the world wide web in 1980 under the name ENQUIRE.
The software project was a simple hypertext program which Berners-Lee named after an old how-to book,Enquire Within Upon Everything.
What is the Higgs Boson?
The discovery of the Higgs boson – or “God particle” – was monumental.
The particle gives matter mass and holds the physical fabric of the universe together.
Its existence had been debated for decades and researchers finally confirmed it on July 4, 2012.
The landmark discovery of the particle was made at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the “Big Bang” atom-smasher near Geneva.
It was announced exactly 10 years ago by Cern, the European Organisation for Nuclear Research.
How big is the Large Hadron Collider?
The Large Hadron Collider sits at a whopping 27 kilometer (17 miles) ring of magnets, making it the biggest accelerator in the world.
The circumference is made up of thousands of magnets surrounding the beams around the LHC, all of different varieties and sizes.
Generally, accelerators are required to be large in order to prevent breakage.
What does the Large Hadron Collider do?
As the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, also known as LHC, was built to study subatomic particles.
These minuscule particles are the smallest building blocks of all things in the universe.
The collider fires particle beams at each other in opposite directions in two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum.
These beams are kept at -456.34 Fahrenheit and travel close to the speed of light, ensuring the highest discovery potential as well as precision.
What is the Large Hadron Collider?
The European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) has its headquarters in Geneva, which lies on the border of France and Switzerland.
The LHC is a massive ring of superconducting magnets for ground-breaking scientific research that is located 100 meters below.
Although accelerators were created in the 1930s to study the structure of atoms, the LHC is the largest of its type.
Scientists undertake experiments within the enormous apparatus to make revolutionary discoveries about the nature of the cosmos, such as the discovery of a “God particle” 10 years ago.
Berners-Lee had some help
Together with Berners-Lee, Robert Cailliau designed the world wide web’s recognizable WWW logo.
In 1987, the Belgian suggested the first hypertext system to CERN, which later led to the creation of the internet as we know it today.
The inaugural International World Wide Web Conference was also organized by him in 1994 at CERN.
Three hundred and eighty online pioneers oversubscribed the event, which represented a significant turning point in the evolution of the internet.
In addition to being a renowned computer scientist, Cailliau wrote How the Web Was BornIn 2000.
After investing his time in public communication, he took early retirement in 2007.
Who is Tim Berners-Lee?
The world wide web was created by Tim Berners-Lee, who is credited with creating the internet at CERN.
He now holds the positions of professor at MIT and professorial fellow in computer science at Oxford.
He has received various honors and accolades throughout the years, including a knighthood from the Queen in 2004 and a Turing Award in 2016.
He was listed as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century in 1999 by Time magazine.
A CERN employee created the Internet
In fact, a British physicist at CERN created the Internet in 1989.
However, the organization is not only located in Geneva, on the Franco-Swiss border, at the mega-lab where the Large Hadron Collider has been switched on.
Over 10,000 scientists from more than 100 nations make up the huge global network known as CERN.
Therefore, Tim Berners-Lee developed the concept of the internet to enable these scientists from universities and institutions throughout the world to exchange knowledge, discoveries, and research.
He sought to create a worldwide information system by fusing the technologies of personal computers, networks, and hypertext.
CERN allows visitors
Visitors are unable to enter the Large Hadron Collider’s tunnel, but you may learn a lot about particle physics by visiting the CERN headquarters in Geneva.
Free guided tours of the whole laboratory are available, however, space is limited and reservations are necessary.
There are very few underground detector excursions available, but there is a lot to see elsewhere.
CERN has two primary locations, one in France and the other in Switzerland, due to its border location.
At the Meyrin site in Switzerland, there is a visitor reception.
Where is CERN headquarters located?
The CERN headquarters are located in Geneva, close to the Swiss-French border.
The LHC, a massive, 17-mile ring of superconducting magnets made up of a variety of structures, is located 100 meters underground.
Before colliding, two high-energy particle beams move within the LHC at speeds that are almost as fast as light.
The accelerator’s beams are propelled by thousands of magnets of various shapes and sizes, and to operate at peak efficiency, they must be maintained at a temperature of -456.34 degrees Fahrenheit, which is colder than space.
What does the Large Hadron Collider accomplish?
The Large Hadron Collider (also known as LHC) is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world. It was designed to study subatomic particles.
These tiny particles are the smallest parts of the universe.
The collider shoots particles in opposite directions at each other using two tubes that are kept at an ultrahigh vacuum.
These beams travel at the speed of light and are kept at -456.34 Fahrenheit, which ensures precision as well as discovery potential.
Machine building budget
CERN Council Resolution from March 8, 2022 suspends this. Russian Federation’sAs an observer
Funding organizations of each state type are responsible for the development, finance, and maintenance (CERN) of experiments.
Only a fraction of the cost of the experiments are covered by funding. The majority of the funding is used to make apparatus such as Large Hadron Collider.
The US pledged $531million for the LHC project. This had a total cost $4.75billion. In a 1997 agreement, per CERN.
CERN receives funding from 23 member countries
The 23 Member statesCERN, the European Center for Nuclear Research or CERN for short, and some non-member governments provide financial support for the laboratory.
Since then, several other European countries have joined the CERN Pact. It was signed initially in 1953 by 12 signatories.
Each member nation shares responsibility for key organizational decisions and capital and operating costs associated with programs in the historical lab.
International organizations such as the European Union, UNESCO, Japan, and the USA all have Observer status at the Large Hadron Collider.
Unanswered Questions about Higgs Boson
Researchers believe there are many unanswered questions regarding the particle. For example, can it interact with dark matter to reveal the nature and origin of this mysterious form?
It is not known what causes the mass and self-interaction of the Higgs boson.
Researchers don’t know if the particle has twins, or if it is related.
Why Higgs is important
The Standard Model was founded on the discovery of Higgs. This theory describes the universe’s web of particles, forces, and interactions.
The Standard Model universe would not exist without the Higgs Boson that gives matter mass, weight.
Michelangelo Mangano is a Cern Theorist. “And while all the results obtained so far are consistent with the Standard Model, there is still plenty of room for new phenomena beyond what is predicted by this theory.”
Luca Malgeri is a spokesperson for CMS – one the two LHC’s giant detectors along with Atlas – and said that the Higgs boson may be pointing to new phenomena, such as some that could explain the dark matter in our universe.
“Atlas and CMS are performing many searches to probe all forms of unexpected processes involving the Higgs boson.”
Things that are bigger and better
“We have started a feasibility study for a 91 km collider within the local area,” said one of the panelists at the Q&A.
The feasibility study is expected to take between two- and five years.
Live stream allows viewers to follow the action.
More than 22,000 people are watching the CERN live stream right at this moment.
After the first collision, Twitter users congratulated the physicists.
One person wrote: “Hopefully this will bring us some new and interesting physics!”
Technical problems
Some CERN control rooms may not be connected to the live stream.
More discoveries
“We’re expecting to see lots more Higgs and be able to do more precision measurements to understand what the Higgs is telling us about nature,” said a CERN rep during the Q&A.
Four-year run
According to the physicists, Run 3 will continue until 2025.
Q&A coming up
Representatives form CERN will be leading a Q&A regarding the LHC experiment.
‘Lifetime experience’
Andreas Hoecker is spokesperson for ATLAS: “This is an absolutely overwhelming moment for all of us.”
