The CMS Collaboration has shown, for the first time, that machine learning can be used to fully reconstruct particle collisions at the LHC. This new approach can reconstruct collisions more quickly ...

Master elastic collisions in 2D by learning the common pitfalls and their solutions! This video walks you through typical mistakes, step-by-step calculations, and strategies to correctly solve ...

The largest particle collider in the US, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), has completed its final particle collisions after a quarter-century, recreating the conditions of the early ...

Every time two beams of particles collide inside an accelerator, the universe lets us in on a little secret. Sometimes it's a particle no one has ever seen. Other times, it's a fleeting glimpse of ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

A view of the tunnels at the LHC.Maximilien Brice (CERN) Since its inception in 2008, the LHC (large hadron collider) at CERN has been a key player in pushing the boundaries of particle physics ...

In a study published in PRX Quantum, scientists developed scalable quantum circuits for the beginning state of a collision similar to those seen in particle accelerators. An artist’s impression of a ...

This paper reports the first measurement of the transverse momentum (𝑝T) spectra of primary charged pions, kaons, (anti)protons, and unidentified particles as a function of the charged-particle ...
