Todo lo que necesita saber sobre el LHC

Information, facts and figures on the LHC can be found in CERN FAQ – LHC the guide.

Was given today to Yoichiro Nambu of the University of Chicago “for the discovery of the mechanism of spontaneous broken symmetry in subatomic physics” and to Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa “for the discovery of the origin of the broken symmetry which predicts the existence of at least three families of quarks in nature.” A Nobel Prize in particle physics.

This morning there was a major problem in sector 3-4 of LHC

Official announcement of the School.

PAMELA is a satellite experiment who measures the cosmic flux of anti-particles. There are rumours that PAMELA has discovered dark matter. Last month, the PAMELA team gave a few selected physicists a sneak preview of their results at a conference in Stockholm. Slides from there were used in this articles, citing this one that stablishes: "the data points shown in our figure have been graphically extracted from a photo of a slide shown by M. Boezio at the IDM08 conference, Stochkolm, 20/08/2008"

CERN has announced that the first attempt to circulate a beam in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be made on 10 September. The first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled, on October 21, 2008

In this series of six lectures, Professor M. E. Peskin (SLAC) addresses various aspects of the physics of Electroweak Symmetry Breaking. The most important theoretical ideas are analyzed, with special emphasis to the distinctive signatures detectable at the CERN Large Hadron Collider
