Before CERN had the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), that famous tunnel under France and Switzerland was home to the Large Electron–Positron collider (LEP). It was switched on 30 years ago in 1989. and ...

The Large Hadron Collider is just that — large. The particle accelerator is the world’s biggest, and inside its nearly 17-mile-ring of superconducting magnets, particles collide at nearly the ...

Building the next collider Yet CERN is not the only one developing new circular collider designs. In November, physicists in China unveiled the conceptual design for its own 100 km tunnel, which would ...

The Large Hadron Collider is the most advanced and complex machine ever built by humanity, but there's only so much you can do with a 27-kilometer particle collider. So, CERN has approved plans to ...

Detector layout. CERN The primary goal of the electron-positron collider would be to study the Higgs boson, the particle of the other fundamental particles.

The last time the European Organization for Nuclear Research, or CERN, attempted collisions with a new accelerator, the Large Electron-Positron collider, in 1989, the first collision didn’t ...

The first stage is a electron-positron collider (FCC-ee) that will slam together negatively charged electrons, their positive antiparticle counterparts, known as positrons, and other light particles.

FASER is located 1,500 feet (480 meters) downstream of the ATLAS experiment, in disused tunnels that were once part of the LHC's predecessor, the Large Electron-Positron Collider.

Funding tour CERN’s strategy envisions 2038 as the beginning of construction for the new, 100-kilometer tunnel and the electron-positron collider.

The Large Hadron Collider is just that - large. The particle accelerator is the world's biggest, and inside its nearly 17-mile-ring of superconducting magnets, particles collide at nearly the ...

But it would potentially get us a two-for-one, just as the tunnels occupied by the LHC did. Initially, an electron-positron collider would be built for a detailed characterization of the Higgs boson.
