During LHC operations, the CERN site draws roughly 200 MW of electrical power from the French electrical grid, which, for comparison, is about one-third the energy consumption of the city of Geneva; the LHC accelerator and detectors draw about 120 MW thereof. [35] Each day of its operation generates 140 terabytes of data. [36]
The LHC is the most energetic particle collider in the world, and is used to test the accuracy of the Standard Model, and to look for physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and others. The list is first compiled from the SPIRES database, then missing information is retrieved from the online version CERN's ...
The 12 founding member states of CERN in 1954. [13]The convention establishing CERN [14] was ratified on 29 September 1954 by 12 countries in Western Europe. [15] The acronym CERN originally represented the French words for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire ('European Council for Nuclear Research'), which was a provisional council for building the laboratory, established by 12 ...
In 2000 CERN had shut the LEP collider so that the Large Hadron Collider could be built in its place. On July 4, 2012, following the immense efforts of the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, CERN announced the discovery of a boson consistent with the predicted characters of Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV. This was a statistically significant ...
It is CERN's first synchrotron, beginning its operation in 1959. For a brief period the PS was the world's highest energy particle accelerator . It has since served as a pre-accelerator for the Intersecting Storage Rings ( ISR ) and the Super Proton Synchrotron ( SPS ), and is currently part of the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) accelerator complex.
A White Rabbit network may be used solely to provide timing and synchronization to a distributed electronic system, or be used to provide both timing and real-time data transfer. [2] [3] The White Rabbit Project focuses on: Sub-nanosecond accuracy: synchronization of more than 1000 nodes via fibre or copper connections of up to 10 km of length.
Computer generated cut-away view of ALICE showing the 18 detectors of the experiment. ALICE is designed to study high-energy collisions between lead nuclei.These collisions mimic the extreme temperature and energy density that would have been found in the fractions of a second after the Big Bang by forming a quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter in which quarks and gluons are unbound.
The Synchrocyclotron was used for an average of 135 hours per week during 1961; it ran continuously every day of the week except Mondays which were reserved for maintenance. The Synchrocyclotron was accelerating a jet of protons 54 times a second, up to a speed of approximately 240,000 kilometers per second (80% percent of the speed of light ).
