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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

LHC produces first physics results First-ever paper on Large Hadron Collider proton collisions published online in European Physical Journal C Peer-Reviewed Publication Springer ...

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.

"A large proton collider would present a leap forward in this exploration and decisively extend the physics program beyond results provided by the LHC and a possible electron-positron collider." ...
