WALL – The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which was built at the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) to continue the search for a new force outside of the four fundamental forces in nature, was restarted after 3 years.
In the written statement on CERN’s website, it was reported that the restart process was entered, as the two proton beams were rotated in opposite directions around the 27-kilometer ring of the LHC.
It was emphasized that the beams returned today represent the beginning of the physical data acquisition process that will take 4 years, as well as re-starting the LHC.
Rhodri Jones, director of the department responsible for the performance of the LHC, whose views are included in the statement, stated that high-density and energetic collisions from the circulating proton beams will be seen after a few months.
‘WE WILL WORK WITH HIGHER ENERGY’
According to the news of AA, CERN Accelerators and Technology Director Mike Lamont noted that after a long consolidation program, the LHC will now continue its activities with higher energy and more data will be extracted from the next LHC experiments.
175 METERS DEPTH
The Large Hadron Collider, which was established at CERN as a result of studies from 1998 to 2008 and is considered the largest and most powerful particle collider in the world, is located in a tunnel 175 meters deep and 27 kilometers long, near the French border in Geneva, Switzerland. .
In the latest experiment with the collider, which was set up to investigate whether there is a new force other than the four fundamental forces in nature, a type of quaternary subatomic particle called “top quark” was revealed.
CERN researchers stated that in the proton collisions in the Atlas experiments with the LHC in 2015-2018, four top quarks were observed with a standard deviation close to what was previously predicted in the Standard Model theory in physics. (NEWS CENTER)
