CERN has confirmed that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will restart in 2009. This news forms part of an updated report, published today, on the status of the LHC following a malfunction on 19 September.

October 03, 2008

The world’s largest computing grid is ready to tackle mankind’s biggest data challenge from the earth’s most powerful accelerator.

September 10, 2008

An international collaboration of scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the world’s most powerful particle accelerator—the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)—located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland.

September 04, 2008

Although Brookhaven is nearly 4,000 miles away from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the Lab houses a special space where physicists on site in Upton can be part of the action in Geneva. From the Remote Monitoring Room, scientists will take shifts monitoring data generated in the ATLAS detector when the LHC starts colliding beams of protons.

August 25, 2008

Even though the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Switzerland has yet to start up, Brookhaven scientists responsible for handling a chunk of the unprecedented data to be produced within the massive accelerator already have their hands dirty.

August 07, 2008

On September 10, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider will attempt for the first time to send a proton beam zooming around the 27-kilometer-long accelerator. The LHC, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator, is located at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. Journalists are invited to attend LHC first beam events at CERN and several locations within the United States.

Accelerator physicist Rama Calaga is one of six new bloggers on a website dedicated to covering the activities of U.S. researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. In a few weeks, Calaga will also be one of the newest additions to BNL.

February 29, 2008

Researchers in the U.S. ATLAS collaboration have joined colleagues around the world to celebrate a landmark in the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the lowering of the final piece of the ATLAS particle detector into the underground collision hall at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland.

September 12, 2007

The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science has launched a new website to tell the story of the U.S. role in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator that will begin operating in Europe, near Geneva, Switzerland, next year.

April 23, 2006

Will scientists ever find the elusive Higgs particle, the last of the fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and postulated to play a major role in how fundamental particles get their masses? Are there undiscovered particles "beyond" those described by the Standard Model? Experiments expected to begin next year at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a new particle accelerator at CERN will take up the search.

April 25, 2005

In a significant milestone for scientific grid computing, eight major computing centres successfully completed a challenge to sustain a continuous data flow of 600 megabytes per second (MB/s) on average for 10 days from CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to seven sites in Europe and the US.
