LHC experiments present latest results in ICHEP16

New results from the LHC experiments were presented during the 38th International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP 2016) that took place in Chicago, USA. The collaborations of the LHC experiments can now dive in and explore at the new…

LHC Restart 2016

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its experiments are back in action, now taking physics data at 13TeV. The goal is to improve our understanding of fundamental physics which ulitmately in decades to come can drive innovation and inventions by…

A successful year for the LHCb collaboration

After the Long Shutdown of 2013 and 2014, LHCb started to take data this year and collected during this year 320 pb-1 of proton-proton collisions at the center of mass energy of 13 TeV. The detector was almost identical to the one used during Run 1…

LHC experiments upgraded trigger plans

As the LHC prepares for higher energies and luminosities all four experiments have upgraded their triggering to record data more efficiently and make sure that their detectors are ready to find evidence for new physics. The trigger teams from the…

LHCb results from proton-lead collisions and prospects for heavy ion interactions

At the 7th edition of the Hard-Probes conference, taking place at McGill University, Montreal, from June 29 - July 3, the LHCb collaboration presented for the first time its plan and potential in heavy ion physics. Beyond the rich programme in…

LHC experiments present latests results from heavy-ion runs (old)

The 7th edition of the Hard Probes International Conference series was hosted by McGill University in Montréal, Québec, Canada, from 29 June to 3 July. During the last two decades, high-energy nuclear physics has seen a tremendous progress; thanks…

Measurement of J/ψ production cross-sections in pp collisions at 13 TeV

At the EPS-HEP 2015 conference in Vienna the LHCb collaboration has presented today the first measurement of the probability to produce a J/ψ meson in proton-proton collisions at 13TeV. Using this measurement they also determined the rate at which…

Data Quality Monitoring: An important step towards new physics

Data Quality Monitoring (DQM) is an important aspect of every high-energy physics experiment. In the era of LHC, when the detectors are extremely sophisticated devices, an online feedback on the quality of the data recorded is needed to avoid taking…

LHC experiment release data in CERN's Open Data Portal

On 20 November 2014, CERN launched the Open Data Portal, making data from real collision events at the LHC experiments available for the first time to the general public. This project is part of the Organisation's policy of openness, which is…

LHC experiments back in business at record energy

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) started delivering physics data on 3rd of June for the first time in 27 months. After an almost two year shutdown and several months re-commissioning, the LHC is now providing collisions to all of its experiments at…
