As the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)circulated its first beam of particles last Wednesday, there was an electronic battle being waged inside the computer systems of the Compact Muon Solenoid Experiment (CMS), one of the four LHC detectors. The detector’s monitoring systems (CMSMON) were compromis...

* Headline inNew York Day Book, September 8, 1852 ### As we wonder about white whales,we might recall that it was on this date in 2008 that the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was first powered up. The world’s largest and highest-energy particle collider, it is devoted to searching fo...
Nothing is supposed to move faster than light, at least according to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity: The famous E (equals) mc2 equation. That stands for energy equals mass times the speed of light squared. But neutrinos — one of the strangest well-known particles in ph...
(HEP) experiments like those at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where performance-per-watt is important, as computing systems may scale to several hundred thousands cores. Intel Xeon Phi platform based on Many Integrated Cores (MIC) computer architecture was launched the HPC market, and ...
The short-lived 'pentaquark' was spotted by researchers analysing data on the decay of unstable particles in the LHCb experi- ment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Europe's particle-physics laboratory near Geneva. The finding, says LHCb spokes person Guy Wilkinson, opens a ...
A simple almost non-destructive device has been built to accurately measure the transverse emittances of the proton and antiproton beams in the CERN SPS collider. A fine wire passing rapidly through the beams acts as a target for the production of high energy secondary particles. Use is made ...
The review of the TP concluded with a recommendation to proceed with a three-year Comprehensive Design Study, under the auspices of the CERN Physics Beyond Colliders (PBC) initiative, with the goal of submitting a proposal for the SHiP detector and the SPS Beam Dump Facility (BDF) to the ...
The Large Electron Positron (LEP) machine was selected by the European Committee for Future Accelerators (ECFA) in the 1970’s as the machine best suited to achieving the next step forward in high-energy physics research. LEP is a natural forerunner to the Superconducting Super Collider, having...
