scibyte130 LookingBackMay

shared by Mars Base on 11 May 14 - No Cached
  • CERN groundbreaking
  • In 1954, official ground-breaking took place at the Meyrin site of the new CERN Laboratory in Geneva. A recommendation had been adopted 12 Dec 1949 at the European Cultural Conference for a European Institute of Nuclear Physics. By 1952, the third session of its provisional Council decided to locate in Switzerland. In Jun 1953, the host community, the canton of Geneva, gave strong approval in a referendum passing with 16539 votes to 7332. On 29 Sep 1954, twelve founding Member States ratified CERN (Centre Européenne de Recherche Nucléaire): Federal Republic of Germany, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Italy, Norway, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Sweden, Switzerland and Yugoslavia.

  • The acronym CERN originally stood in French for Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire (European Council for Nuclear Research), which was a provisional council for setting up the laboratory, established by 12 European governments in 1952
  • The acronym was retained for the new laboratory after the provisional council was dissolved, even though the name changed
  • This NeXT Computer used by British scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee at CERN became the first Web server

  • This Cisco Systems router at CERN was probably one of the first IP routers deployed in Europe
  • Soon after the laboratory's establishment, its work went beyond the study of the atomic nucleus into higher-energy physics

  • Joe Incandela, leader of one of the teams known as CMS, told scientists at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN, that his team of 2,100 scientists has "observed" a new particle that is a boson
  • data as consistent with the elusive Higgs boson
  • stopped short of definitively declaring discovery of the Higgs boson.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • they have discovered a new particle that is consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson
  • which is believed to give all matter in the universe size and shape
  • We observe in our data clear signs of a new particle, at the level of 5 sigma, in the mass region around 126 GeV
  • it must be a boson and it’s the heaviest boson ever found
  • A more complete picture of today’s observations will emerge later this year after the LHC provides the experiments with more data.
  • The next step will be to determine the precise nature of the particle
  • LHC will continue running until the end of this year, and is expected to deliver twice as much data as we have so far
  • After that, it will be upgraded, and will be able to run at higher energy, which will help with the measurements.
  • . In the Standard Model (the simplest theory which describes the fundamental subatomic particles and the forces between them) it is hypothesized that there is only one Higgs Boson
  • in the Supersymmetric Model (which, unlike the Standard Model, incorporates the physics of dark energy and the full theory of gravitation) there could be up to five Higgs Boson
  • how will they know if it is one of many?
  • detailed decay properties of a supersymmetric Higgs Boson are different from those of the Standard Model version. Therefore, with sufficiently precise data we will be able to tell the difference
  • Supersymmetry is an extension of the Standard Model, rather than a replacement
  • The Standard Model will always remain as an excellent description of Nature at energies below those explored at the LHC
  • similar to the way in which Einstein’s General Relativity is the best description of very strong gravitational fields, but Newton’s gravity works perfectly well for almost all normal situations.

shared by Mars Base on 16 Feb 13 - No Cached
  • Seven months after its scientists made a landmark discovery that may explain the mysteries of mass, Europe's top physics lab will take a break from smashing invisible particles to recharge for the next leap
  • From Thursday, the cutting-edge facilities at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) will begin winding down, then go offline on Saturday for an 18-month upgrade
  • scientists said they were 99.9 percent certain they had found the elusive Higgs Boson,
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • The upgrade will boost the LHC's energy capacity, essential for CERN to confirm definitively that its boson is the Higgs, and allow it to probe new dimensions such as supersymmetry and dark matter
  • We need to increase the energy to look at more physics.
  • Over the past three years, CERN has slammed protons together more than six million billion times
  • espite the shutdown, CERN's researchers won't be taking a breather, as they must trawl through a vast mound of data
  • think a year from now, we'll have more information on the data accumulated over the past three years
  • Last year, the LHC achieved a collision energy level of eight teraelectron volts, an energy measure used in particle physics—up from seven in 2011
  • After it comes back online in 2015, the goal is to take that level to 13 or even 14, with the LHC expected to run for three or four years before another shutdown.

  • For the first time scientists have been able to analyse the dynamics of social media on a global scale before, during and after the announcement of a major scientific discovery.

  • research shows that rumours started to spread on Twitter firstly in the USA, UK, Spain, Canada, Australia, as well as Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany, all countries with strong scientific connections to the experiments at the LHC.
  • Other researchers on the project are also interested in how information spreads on social media
  • how messages can be placed and controlled. 'If you can understand the dynamics of an event, you can try to control it, and keep the interest in the topic going
  • This is really useful for practical applications such as marketing
  • For example if you want to run a global marketing campaign you can identify key people on social media to help you to spread your message
  • Once you have identified these key advocates, you can change and steer the message in a different direction, potentially modifying opinions of millions of people
