The LHC, the world's largest particle accelerator, has been under repair for more than a year because of an electrical failure in September 2008. Now, excitement and mysticism are building again around the $10 billion machine as the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) gears up to circulate a high-energy proton beam around the collider's 17-mile tunnel. The event should take place this month, said Steve Myers, CERN's Director for...  

The list of problems encountered by the Large Hadron Collider, a super-sized particle accelerator in Switzerland, is long and becoming longer. It ranges from French bread to French terrorists, and from black holes to time travel, and makes for increasingly entertaining reading.  

Scientists at the LARGE PARTICLE COLLIDER have announced that the 17 mile long, magnetically charged tube is ready to launch any sufficiently bulky objects down the accelerator, toward impact with one another. Theoretical Geophysicists around the globe are especially interested to see the results of what the fuck happens when you fling two rocks at each other near the speed of light."It probably rules," said Professor Henri Calet, lead...  

Instead of light, traditional high-resolution electron microscopes use a particle beam of electrons to illuminate a specimen. However, the particle beam also destroys the samples, meaning that electron microscopes can’t be used to image living cells. Electrical engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proposed a new scheme that can overcome this critical limitation by using a quantum mechanical measurement technique that...  

Some people are beginning to think that:The Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, just cannot catch a break. First, a coolant leak destroyed some of the magnets that guide the energy beam. Then LHC officials postponed the restart of the machine to add additional safety features. Now, a bird dropping a piece of bread on a section of the accelerator has, according to the Register, shut down the whole operation...  

A consortium of Boston-area researchers hopes to fill in a missing piece of a fundamental theory of physics within the next couple months, when groundbreaking tests are carried out at the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator. The g...

High-intensity X-ray sources such as synchrotrons and free-electron lasers need large particle accelerators to drive them. The demonstration of a synchrotron X-ray source that uses a laser-driven particle accelerator could widen the availability of intense X-rays for research in physics, materials science and biology.  

MOSCOW, October 10 (RIA Novosti) - The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) will re-launch its particle accelerator, which has been out of operation since last year, in November, the body's director general said. Experiments using Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were suspended last September shortly after a successful start due to a serious fault between two superconducting magnets and a subsequent helium leak into the tunnel housing...  

It has been announced today that Professor Andrei Seryi will be the next Director of the John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science (JAI). Professor Seryi is currently leading the work on the Facilities for Accelerator Science and Experimental Test Beams (or FACET) at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory in California, as well as being the leader of the Beam Delivery System for the International Linear Collider. Professor Seryi is also...

The hypothesized Higgs boson, which physicists hope to produce with the Large Hadron Collider, might be so abhorrent to nature that its creation would ripple backward through time and stop the collider before it could make one, suggest Holger Bech Nielsen, of the Niels Bohr Institute and Masao Ninomiya of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics.
