LHSee: an application for mobile phones and tablet PCs

LHSee is an application created by the Department of Physics of Oxford University and was written to allow you to see collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
The application will run on mobile phones and tablet PCs that run the Google Android(c) operating system.

You can use it to:
Find out about more about the Large Hadron Collider
Learn how the ATLAS experiment works
View live 3D displays of collisions direct from CERN
Play the "Hunt the Higgs" game

You can download it for free from the following Android Market's link:

Neutrino experiment repeat at Cern finds same result

The team which found that neutrinos may travel faster than light has carried out an improved version of their experiment - and confirmed the result. If confirmed by other experiments, the find could undermine one of the basic principles of modern physics. Critics of the first report in September had said that the long bunches of neutrinos (tiny particles) used could introduce an error into the test.

Η έκθεση του CERN στην Αθήνα

Μια έκθεση που ξεναγεί τον επισκέπτη στον Ευρωπαϊκό Οργανισμό Πυρηνικής Έρευνας (CERN) και τον Μεγάλο Επιταχυντή Αδρονίων (LHC) φιλοξενείται από τις 10 έως και τις 27 Νοεμβρίου 2011 στα Εκπαιδευτήρια «Ελληνογερμανική Αγωγή», στην Παλλήνη.

The antineutrino vanishes differently

CPT symmetry, the combination of charge conjugation, parity inversion, and time reversal, is a fundamental symmetry of particle and nuclear physics and is considered sacred. It is conserved in field theories that explain the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. In the lepton sector, CPT symmetry requires that muon neutrino disappearance oscillations be identical to muon antineutrino disappearance oscillations in vacuum.

Confinement of antihydrogen for 1,000 seconds

Atoms made of a particle and an antiparticle are unstable, usually surviving less than a microsecond. Antihydrogen, made entirely of antiparticles, is believed to be stable, and it is this longevity that holds the promise of precision studies of matter–antimatter symmetry. We have recently demonstrated trapping of antihydrogen atoms by releasing them after a confinement time of 172 ms. A critical question for future studies is: how long can anti-atoms be trapped?

End of 2010 run

After a very successful proton-proton and Pb-Pb collission run from March 30th to December 6th, the LHC beams are now off till February 2011.The experiments will have the opprtunity to do maintenance and small scale repairs during the Xmas shut down.

ATLAS is the first experiment to observe " jet quenching" from heavy ions collissions

ATLAS observed events where Only one jet event is produced in heavy ion collissions which means a high asymmetric event and the second jet (the balancing one) is almost totally absorbed by the medium.The collaboration submitted a paper which is already accepted in the Physical Review Letters.

Physics breakthrough as scientists at CERN capture atoms of elusive 'antimatter' for first time

It was once used to propel Captain Kirk across the stars.
Now scientists say they have captured a sample of real-life antimatter for the first time.
In an astonishing breakthrough, a team of British and international physicists were able to 'trap' 38 atoms of anti-hydrogen in a laboratory for a fraction of a second.
While the experiment is unlikely to lead to the warp engines, anti-matter drives or the faster than light travel of Star Trek, it could shed light on the nature and origins of the Universe.

Photos: A tour of CERN's Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider: a mammoth, $8bn particle accelerator housed in a ring 27km in circumference about 100 meters beneath a valley west of Geneva and operated by a multinational nuclear physics organisation called Cern.

It's designed to look back at the earliest moments of the universe.
