CERN recreates cosmic ray collisions to reveal what happens when space particles hit Earth
Proton-oxygen collisions at the LHC reveal how extreme cosmic rays trigger particle showers when they slam into Earth’s atmosphere.
Particle accelerators reveal the heart of nuclear matter by smashing together atoms at close to the speed of light. The high-energy collisions produce a shower of subatomic fragments that scientists ...
Newswise — A study is published in the journal of Nuclear Science and Techniques, researchers led by Prof. Hua Zheng from Shaanxi Normal University, heralding a significant breakthrough in high-energy ...

The Large Hadron Collider Is Getting a Major Upgrade. But What Would Actually Surprise Physicists?
As the old physics wisdom goes, to answer big questions, build big machines. To that idea, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has really delivered on all fronts in its last 16 years of operations.
Restarting the Large Hadron Collider -- the $10 billion research tool's full name -- has been "a herculean effort," CERN's director for accelerators, Steve Myers, said in a statement announcing the ...
Using a particle accelerator, an NYU professor partnered with an international team of researchers in Switzerland to recreate ...
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest, most powerful particle accelerator, and the center of many a conspiracy, has been shut down. After completing a final collision and physics run on ...
Particle accelerators aren’t just for testing the Standard Model. They’re also used to diagnose and treat disease and study ...
