Science Gateway’s mini accelerator is now taking data
After years of development, the proton accelerator ELISA (Experimental Linac for Surface Analysis) is now being used for archaeological research at #CERNScienceGateway.
This marks the first time a proton accelerator of this research as a part of a museum exhibition.

Two of my students at the Particle Physics course @cienciasuminho building an hand made cloud chamber to "see" particles. It was a fun activity and the movie got quite cool, I think.

The ATLAS collaboration at @CERN has observed top quark pairs in collisions between lead ions, marking the first observation of this process in interactions between atomic nuclei! 🎇

So it begins… the heavy-ion run at the #LHC 💪
Yesterday at 11.13 am, a new #HeavyIon run began at the Large Hadron Collider, smashing together lead ions at an energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair.
While the LHC mostly collides protons, once a year it collides heavy ions – such ingredient for preparing the primordial soup called the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter known to have existed shortly after the #BigBang.
For the next 17 days, every minute counts to take lead–lead collision data.

Target reached ✅
Only ten days later, on 23 September, an additional 10 femtobarns were integrated, reaching the 110 femtobarns target set for 2024.
2024 has been the most productive year for the #LHC

A lucky day for physics at the #LHC 🍀
Earlier today, the Large Hadron Collider reached an integrated luminosity of 100 inverse femtobarns – equivalent to ten million billion collisions – delivered to the @ATLASexperiment and the @CMSExperiment in 2024, with 28 days of s to go. This is a first-time achievement in a single run of the #LHC.
Luminosity is an important indicator of the performance of an accelerator: it is proportional to the number of collisions that occur in a certain amount of time. The higher the luminosity, the more data the experiments can gather for #physics research.
Do you remember why there is no data referring to the period from 2018 to 2022? Here’s a hint: #LHCRun3

Happy 70th anniversary CERN 🎉
#OnThisDay 70 years ago, twelve European countries came together to establish what has become the world’s largest #ParticlePhysics laboratory, home to the #LHC, and where the #HiggsBoson was discovered 12 years ago.
In how many ways can you say s video, representing our 24 Member States, CERN people share their birthday wishes in their native language.
