Large Hadron Collider; Ready To Fire In March 2015

January 1, 2015 By Cliff Jenkins Scott

After a two year upgrade, new edition of large Hadron Collider is all set to launch. Its working capacity has been increased to such a degree now that it will explore significantly deeper than ‘God particle’ and resolve secrets around dark matter.

In March 2015, the collider would restart for the second three year run. The particle smasher was turned off after its last run completed in 2012.

Researchers are at present carrying out tests on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In December, they performed the errand of t one of triggering one of the magnets needed to fore atoms around the collider.

For 2 years, the LHC atom smasher has experienced a significant redesign. When the machine will begins working again in March 2015, energies of 13 tera-electron volts (Tev) will be delivered due to subatomic crashes. The force is three-fold to what was produced when LHC researchers found earth shattering Higgs boson in 2012.

The higher the energies, the more the production of particles and particles with more noteworthy mass. With a specific end goal to explore the nature of principal particles and forces, quickening agents (accelerators) are also utilized. More determination is given to them by higher energies.

Specialists are sure that they will get access to considerable new data about the Higgs boson after directing LHC tests for 3 years. Additionally, they could likewise disentangle the puzzle behind the genuine nature of dark matter with the assistance of the new enhanced LHC.

Prof. Tara Shears, who heads the University of Liverpool Lhcb team, said that they are yet not finished with understanding the universe. “We need to see what the new information reveals us about antimatter, and why there’s so small in the universe. We need to pursue the insights we’ve seen in past estimations, whose conduct didn’t exactly match our desires, in case these indications become findings”, Shears said.

British scientists are gearing up to complete “unfinished business”; LHC

Particle accelerator, Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has been shut off for two years because of a major upgrade.

The machine is under laid beneath Swiss and French borders. Now when the machine recommence it will generate the atomic collision with energies of 13 tera-electron volts (TeV).

This is triple the power since the scientists of LHC made their momentous Higgs boson discovery in 2012.

Researchers are now searching for the elusive boson, which will give mass of other particles, since it was first theorised in 1964 by British physicist Peter Higgs.

Beam energies can be used for particle discoveries as the Albert Einstein’s mass energy equation E=mc2 says so.
High energy means that particles with greater mass can be created. Accelerators are also used to enlighten the nature of fundamental particles and forces, and higher energy gives them more resolution.

An important question arises about the lesser quantity of antimatter because according to the Big Bang theory 13.8 Billion years ago, the amount of matter and antimatter should be equal.

The new upgraded LHC would disclose the facts about the mysterious invisible substance that makes up more than a quarter of the mass-energy of the universe and holds galaxies together called the “Dark Matter”.

Scientists also hope to start testing the theory of Supersymmetry, which predicts that every known particle has a corresponding and unknown “super-particle” partner.

There are four major experiments of LHC named LHCb, Alice, Atlas and CMS which are centered on one huge detector blocks arranged around its 27 kilometer (17 mile) long beam tunnel ring.

A Big Question Mark on the Discovery of Higgs Boson.

November 11, 2014 By Carol Harper

A group of researchers from the University of Southern Denmark casted a doubt on the Higgs Boson particle. The particle is also commonly known as Gold particle.

Two years ago scientist of European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) claimed that they uncovered the Higgs Boson Particle. It is considered as the theoretical elementary particle in the Standard Model of Particle physics. Generally, it provides mass to other sub-atomic particle.

Mads Toudal Frandsen, a physicist at the University stated that CERN presented the data which is usually taken as a proof for Higgs Particle. Undoubtedly, the data slightly explains the presence of Higgs particle. Unfortunately, the data is not precise enough to figure out the particle accurately. There are numerous other particles such as “techni-quark particle” that can produce a data pretty similar to Higgs Boson.

The experts proposed that it could be any other theoretical particle that Large Hadron Collider (LHC) considered as Higgs Boson. The properties of this particular particle are not entirely similar to the Higgs particle.

Moreover, Frandsen informed that both the particles indicate towards two completely different theories. These theories try to give some insight about the formation of the universe.

Nevertheless, all the above statement pose big question mark on the latest discovery of CERN. On the flip side, if it turns out to be a techni-quark particle then it is also a great achievement. Thus far, no one has ever discovered techni-quark particle.

The study is entitled as “Technicolor Higgs boson in the light of LHC data”. It is printed in the Journal Physical Review.
