Oh la la

We’re here for chapter three of #LHC Run3

Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek features the beautiful event displays of the first high-energy collisions recorded by the #LHC experiments in 2024.

On 5 April, the Large Hadron Collider accelerated and collided protons at the energy of 6.8 TeV…

🧐

A muon collider would smash together not the standard electrons or protons, but heavy, short-lived particles called muons. Scientists have suggested that a muon collider could fit within the footprint of Fermilab.

Data rates

Together with Nokia , National Institute for Subatomic Physics Nikhef and CERN we have tested the speed of data transfer between CERN in Geneva and Amsterdam. A data rate of 800Gbit per second was achieved on the 1648-kilometre fibre-optic connection. Read more ⤵️. edu.nl/trrdc

Haha accurate 😅

Today I’m at the marathon in my birthplace Rotterdam to see neighbor Luc and student Jochem. Huge event!🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏻 🏃🏻‍♀️

And another >0.2/fb within 11 hours

More than 0.3/fb in almost 18 hours 📈

Moar data! 📈

I was also a scanner for the OPERA neutrino experiment... in the 2000s, we had an automatic pattern recognition system, but we often checked the tracks 'by eye' 🧐.

Last day to apply! ⌛️

One of my favorite nerdy spots to show CERN visitors

New 2024 data: 0.02/fb
