CERN has begun disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider

CERN has started replacing some of the Large Hadron Collider’s most important magnets as part of its High-Luminosity upgrade. The new superconducting magnets will produce fields about 40% stronger, allowing particle beams to be squeezed more tightly before they collide. That should create far more collisions for the ATLAS and CMS experiments to analyze, giving physicists a much larger window into the fundamental workings of the universe.

CERN Starts Disconnecting the Large Hadron Collider

8 # Rewrite: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC): Upgrading to Increase Collision Rates The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a massive structure spanning 27 km and relies on a variety of magnets, including dipoles, quadrupoles, hexapoles, octopoles, and decapoles, to control particle beams. Each type of magnet plays a specific role in steering and focusing [...]
