Their focus remains the Higgs boson. Andreas Hoecker, spokesman of the Atlas collaboration, said: “We will measure the strengths of the Higgs boson interactions with matter and force particles to unprecedented precision, and we will further our searches for Higgs boson decays to dark matter particles as well as searches for additional Higgs bosons.” During the experiments, scientists will look at the nature of the Higgs boson, discovered by the LHC ten years ago, with unprecedented precision and in new channels.

That is brief by human standards, but because these particles travel at close to the speed of light, they would leave trails a few millimetres long, which would be a treasured footprint for physicist sleuths to follow. That is an essential first step towards creating a theory and set of rules governing exotic mass. This takes the total number discovered there to 21.

CERN lights up the Large Hadron Collider for Run 3, a four year continuous run after its second long shutdown in 2018.

The beams collide in the machine at four points or "detectors" called ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LGCb, each of which focusses on measuring different types of hadron particles. "We're looking forward to measurements of the Higgs boson decay to second-generation particles such as muons. Hence the need for accelerator like LHC with its 27km circumference, which accelerates hadron particles (such as lead, xenon and oxygen ions at different levels of the mass spectrum) in a way that forms two beams traveling in opposite directions, almost at the speed of light.

Geneva, Switzerland, Jul 5 (EFE).- Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider on Tuesday announced the discovery of three new “exotic” particles.

The more experiments that are carried out, the more exotic hadron-like particles are found, coordinator of physics at the LHCb, Niels Tuning, said at a seminar. Quarks are elementary particles that generally come together in groups of two or three to form hadrons, such as the protons and neutrons that make up the nuclei of atoms. The international LHCb collaboration at the LHC “has observed three never-before-seen particles: a new kind of ‘pentaquark’ and the first-ever pair of ‘tetraquarks’, which includes a new type of tetraquark,” the European Center for Particle Physics (CERN) said in a statement.

Upgrades to the colossal accelerator could help scientists discover new particles and gain better understanding of dark matter.

CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) is starting a new Large Hadron Collider test today and it's sent the internet into a frenzy.

This particular theory is taking over TikTok where one user said: “CERN are opening a portal to the other dimension… Then, you visualise yourself with that goal, write it down on paper and say the affirmation out loud. After that, you begin working towards that aspiration and let the universe do its part. Before you know it, that thing you wished for could come true! This led many conspiracy theorists to claim that a huge black hole will form and wipe out the world. For example, buying your dream house, getting a certain job or finding love.

CONSPIRACY theorists claim that CERN's July 5th test will cause "demonic portals" to be opened.Internet nuts are urging people to counteract their pla.

"In addition to the new hardware, ATLAS upgraded large parts of its software, simulation and computing environment to boost performance, save resources and enable it for use with heterogeneous computing systems," concludes Andreas. Of course, a centrepiece of the ATLAS physics programme remains the Higgs boson. These are but a few of the scientific highlights expected from Run 3. If it is made of particles, as most physicists expect, these may interact with protons or the Higgs boson and be produced in LHC collisions.” Dark matter is invisible and can only be spotted when produced with other, visible particles. The return of LHC beams comes after more than three years of upgrade and maintenance work, with new detector systems and electronic infrastructure installed 100 metres underground in the ATLAS cavern. We have prepared a broad scientific programme, taking advantage of new upgrades to our experiment."

Physicists François Englert and Peter Higgs first theorized the existence of the Higgs boson in the 1960s. Scientists now believe that the Higgs boson is the particle that gives all matter its mass. Physics' Standard Model lays out the basics of how elementary particles and forces interact in the universe. But of course the answer is in the hands of nature, and it depends on how nature answers open questions in fundamental physics," said Fabiola Gianotti, CERN Director-General, in a video posted on CERN's website. That would be the best result. It works by smashing tiny particles together to allow scientists to observe them and see what's inside.

Whatever the LHC will do, Nature has already done many times over during the lifetime of the Earth and other astronomical bodies.” CERN’s experiment will not give rise to portals that allow time travel and neither is it going to open a black hole. Despite this, people have been giving rise to rumors that CERN’s experiment on July 5th can pave way for time travel and the collider is being compared to the time machine that the organization would need to make it all happen.

On the other hand, it played a key role in the first moments after the Big Bang, this Boson has a long story to tell us. Particle physics is describing the infinitely small and what happens inside the fundamental building blocks that make up atoms such as elementary particles: electrons, photons, quarks, bosons and the forces with which they interact. CERN is making a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the laws that governed the functioning of the Universe in the first moments of life.

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment), which is designed to study the physics of strongly interacting matter at extreme energy densities, "is aiming at a staggering fifty-fold increase in the number of recorded collisions," according to CERN. The four big LHC experiments have been updated to cope with the results of the upgrade. The LHC was first fired up in 2010 and this latest activity is expected to last for almost four years at a record energy of 13.6 trillion electronvolts (TeV).

After a three-year shutdown, the Large Hadron Collider will smash particles together at the highest energies yet.

The LHC will run for four years, until collisions stop to make way for upgrades to an even more intensive machine. The particle beam has the power to damage detectors and machinery, so engineers will start cautiously, circulating only a minimum number of protons. Physicists will use the data deluge to learn more about the Higgs boson, which was discovered at CERN 10 years ago this week and about which myriad questions remain. Physicists upgraded the LHC experiments’ detectors, in particular improving their electronics and computing system to deal with the greater collision intensity. More-compact proton beams will allow the LHC to maintain a peak rate of collisions for longer, enabling experiments to collect more data in this run than in the previous two combined. A collision energy of 13.6 trillion electron volts (TeV), up from 13 TeV in the previous run, raises the probability of creating heavier and unknown particles (see ‘Data boost’). “With higher-energy data and a larger amount of data we can look further.
