CERN NEWS : OPENLAB

The fourth phase of the CERN openlab partnership to tackle exascale IT challenges for science Geneva, 9 May 2012. The fourth phase of CERN openlab was officially launched during a meeting of its board of sponsors taking place at CERN on 8 and 9 May. CERN openlab is a unique public-private partnership between CERN and leading information technology companies HP, Intel, Oracle, Siemens with contribution from Huawei. Its mission is to accelerate the development of cutting-edge solutions to be used by the worldwide community working on LHC data. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle accelerator, generates hundreds of millions of particle collision each second. The record, storage and analysis of these vast amounts of collisions present a massive data challenge: the LHC produces roughly 20 million Gigabytes of data each year. CERN openlab was created more than 10 years ago, to develop innovative, advanced IT systems required to cope with the unprecedented computing challenge of the LHC. It brings together the efforts of science and industry, working at the cutting edge of research to ever expand technological boundaries. The third phase of CERN openlab was officially closed during the meeting of partners. The assembly reviewed key achievements of the projects carried out, and agreed on their very positive impact on the development of the Grid and computing services which underpin the LHC.

What is CERN Large Hadron Collider LHC ? End of the World?

safeperiodcalculator.com End of the World? Search for God Particle. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons charged with approximately 7 TeV of energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will produce the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is already operational and is presently in the process of being prepared for collisions. The first beams were circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008. Although a few individuals have questioned the safety of the planned experiments in the media and through the courts, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is no conceivable threat from the LHC particle collisions. Concerns have been ...

CERN news : ALPHA2 ANTIMATTER

CERN experiment makes spectroscopic measurement of antihydrogen Geneva, 7 March 2012. In a paper published online today by the journal Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN* reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms. This follows news reported in June last year that the collaboration had routinely trapped antihydrogen atoms for long periods of time. ALPHA's latest advance is the next important milestone on the way to being able to make precision comparisons between atoms of ordinary matter and atoms of antimatter, thereby helping to unravel one of the deepest mysteries in particle physics and perhaps understanding why a Universe of matter exists at all. "We've demonstrated that we can probe the internal structure of the antihydrogen atom," said ALPHA collaboration spokesman, Jeffrey Hangst, "and we're very excited about that. We now know that it's possible to design experiments to make detailed measurements of antiatoms." Today, we live in a Universe that appears to be made entirely of matter, yet at the Big Bang, matter and antimatter would have existed in equal amounts. The mystery is that all the antimatter seams to have gone, leading to the conclusion that nature must have a slight preference for matter over antimatter. If antihydrogen atoms can be studied in detail, as ALPHA's latest result suggests, they may provide a powerful tool for investigating this preference. Hydrogen atoms consist of an electron orbiting a ...

Antigravity, CERN, Stargates & The Secret Space Program

Antigravity, CERN(LHC), Stargates & The Secret Space Progam and how they all are related to each other. Classified Anti-Gravity Aerospace Craft Using Reverse-engineered Extraterrestrial Technology There are (12) special-technology advanced aerospace platforms all using antigravity technology in some form. These 12 are: the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, the F-22 Raptor advanced stealth fighter, and its successor, the F-35 Lightning II advanced stealth fighter; the Aurora, Lockheed-Martin's X-33A, the Lockheed X-22A two-man antigravity disc fighter, Boeing and Airbus Industries' Nautilus, the TR3-A Pumpkinseed, the TR3-B Triangle, Northrop's "Great Pumpkin" disc, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical's XH-75D Shark antigravity helicopter, and the Northrop Quantum Teleportation Disc. The most primitive antigravity technology is electrogravitic. This involves using voltages in the millions of volts to disrupt the ambient gravitational field. This results in an 89% reduction in gravity's hold on airframes in such vehicles as the B-2 Stealth Bomber and the TR3-B Astra triangular craft. And given the considerable ambient ionization field I observed around the X-22A, it is reasonable to assume that extreme-voltage electrogravitics is also employed with these craft. The next level up of sophistication is magnetogravitic. This involves generating high-energy toroidal fields spun at incredible rpm's, which also disrupts the ambient gravitational field, indeed to the extent that a ...

CERN News - LHC to run at 4 TeV per beam in 2012

The LHC will run with a beam energy of 4 TeV this year, 0.5 TeV higher than in 2010 and 2011. This decision was taken by CERN management following the annual performance workshop held in Chamonix last week and a report delivered today by the external CERN Machine Advisory Committee (CMAC). It is accompanied by a strategy to optimise LHC running to deliver the maximum possible amount of data in 2012 before the LHC goes into a long shutdown to prepare for higher energy running. The data target for 2012 is 15 inverse femtobarns for ATLAS and CMS, three times higher than in 2011. Bunch spacing in the LHC will remain at 50 nanoseconds.

CERN NEWS : HIGGS SEARCH UPDATE 2011

Higgs search status. In a seminar held at CERN today, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. Their results are based on the analysis of considerably more data than those presented at the summer conferences, sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the elusive Higgs. The main conclusion is that the Standard Model Higgs boson, if it exists, is most likely to have a mass constrained to the range 116-130 GeV by the ATLAS experiment, and 115-127 GeV by CMS. Tantalising hints have been seen by both experiments in this mass region, but these are not yet strong enough to claim a discovery.

Stephen Hawking CERN Lecture: The Creation of The Universe Part 1

Part 2: www.youtube.com Professor Stephen Hawking, rightfully regarded as one of the greatest theoretical physicists of modern times, gives us an exciting lecture at the heart of theoretical physics at the experimental epicenter of this research, the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Hawking's work in searching for the theoretical framework for producing a Unified Field Theory has lead him to some truly remarkable conclusions in his career which paralells that of CERN's search for elementary particles and the forces that govern them. His work with Roger Penrose on the singularity conditions that arise in General Relativity lead to an extention of Roger Penrose's theorem for non-rotating, uncharged black holes to a universe where the Big Bang itself did not arise from a spacetime singularity. His independant work on Virtual Particle-Antiparticle Pairs around a black hole event horizon has lead to the famous Hawking Radiation scenario, which still awaits experimental and observational experimentation. Hawking's own expertise in Black Hole Thermodynamics along with his work(an infamous bet) with the renowned Physicist Kip Thorn are classic physic's stories. Hawking's popular science books and TV shows are works of art in and of themselves. Hawking's latest work has been involved in M-Theory, particularly in the case of modelling the geodesics of spacetime with relation to Feynman's Sum over Histories Path Integral formalism in Quantum Field Theory. Hawking has concluded that ...

CERN Results Casting Doubt on Theory of Relativity Due to Faulty Cable

Well, there's your problem right there! It seems even quantum physicists are subject to the same little technical annoyances as the rest of us—except a bad cable can alter their entire theoretical paradigm. In September of 2011, scientists from the OPERA collaboration discovered that neutrinos traveling 450 miles from experiments at the CERN Large Hadron Collider near Geneva Switzerland arrived 60 nanoseconds earlier than expected, suggesting they moved faster than the speed of light. The findings threw Einstein's Theory of Relativity, which states light is the speediest thing out there, into doubt. But Einstein's ghost might get the last laugh. OPERA researchers have discovered that there was a faulty connection of the GPS's fiber optic cable to the experiment's master clock. A faulty cable. OK guys, you don't need a degree in quantum physics to fix this issue. Just disconnect it and reconnect it, or give it a jiggle ... usually works for us.

OPERA : interviews of Antonio Ereditato and Dario Autiero

Interview of OPERA's spokesperson Antonio Ereditato of the University of Bern and Interview of Dario Autiero CNRS researcher in OPERA experiment Results of the experiment OPERA. The OPERA experiment, which observes a neutrino beam from CERN 730 km away at Italy's INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory, will present new results in a seminar at CERN today. The OPERA result is based on the observation of over 15000 neutrino events measured at Gran Sasso, and appears to indicate that the neutrinos travel at a velocity 20 parts per million above the speed of light, nature's cosmic speed limit. Given the potential far-reaching consequences of such a result, independent measurements are needed before the effect can either be refuted or firmly established. This is why the OPERA collaboration has decided to open the result to broader scrutiny.

CERN mocked for Comic Sans font in Higgs boson 'God particle' presentation

www.nma.tv Scientists in search of the Higgs boson, the so-called "God particle," were ridiculed on Twitter for their use of the Comic Sans font in a presentation summarizing their findings. The scientific press is accustomed to hearing news of great intellectual merit from the European Organization for Nuclear Research, abbreviated in French as "CERN." It operates the Large Hadron Collider, the largest particle accelerator on Earth, which, experts say, may help to unlock some of the biggest mysteries of physics. However, scientists made a rather elementary Internet faux pas by writing their presentation in the offending typeface. Comic Sans was designed by Vincent Connare in 1994 for Microsoft. Reminiscent of comic book text, its rounded edges project a jovial and inviting feeling, making it a popular typeface choice early on for amateur and professional graphic designers alike. But as the digital age matured, so did many people's tastes in fonts. Now Comic Sans is largely regarded as informal and childish in certain Internet circles. BanComicSans.com, a website bent on sinking the style, equates using Comic Sans with wearing a clown suit to a black tie event. Comic Sans isn't without its fans, however. A new Tumblr blog called Comic Sans Project posts familiar corporate logos refashioned using the--at least in the designers' eyes--beloved font. McDonald's, Coca-Cola and Subway sandwiches are among the brands to get the Comic Sans treatment.

Science / CERN: What is Higgs boson?

December 13, 2011 - (CERES TV News Center) --- In a seminar held at CERN this week, the ATLAS and CMS experiments presented the status of their searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson. Their results are based on the analysis of considerably more data than those presented at the summer conferences, sufficient to make significant progress in the search for the Higgs boson, but not enough to make any conclusive statement on the existence or non-existence of the elusive Higgs. The main conclusion is that the Standard Model Higgs boson, if it exists, is most likely to have a mass constrained to the range 116-130 GeV by the ATLAS experiment, and 115-127 GeV by CMS. Tantalising hints have been seen by both experiments in this mass region, but these are not yet strong enough to claim a discovery. OK, BUT WHAT IS THIS? The Higgs boson is a hypothetical massive elementary particle that is predicted to exist by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The Higgs boson plays a crucial role in the Higgs mechanism responsible for breaking the electroweak symmetry of the Standard Model . If shown to exist, it would help explain why other elementary particles have mass.It is the only elementary particle predicted by the Standard Model that has not yet been observed in particle physics experiments.Theories that do not need the Higgs boson also exist and would be considered if the existence of the Higgs boson were ruled out. They are described as Higgsless models. The Higgs ...
