To smash atoms with unimaginable power.
is back online after a three-year technical shutdown period. The expert scientists at the famous research facility ran the powerful accelerator at the end of April, and Run 3 physics started in early July. The entire process ran at the highest energy level ever achieved in an accelerator.
The LHC experiments are expected to collect so much data on nature at its smallest levels that it is measured in petabytes. While thousands of collaborators are working on the Standard Model of particle physics and are always on the hunt for new physics, things like supersymmetry, dark matter, or even undiscovered new particles, the Cern researchers are preparing the next iteration of the LHC.
One of the newest additions to the detector is the pixel detector. The pixel detector has a finer granularity. Therefore, the rates must be higher, as well as the granularity. This is because the particle paths are happening faster, and the increases in granularity and rates will help to actually detect individual particles. Otherwise, the particles go through the detector so fast that the resulting particle images are just smears.
There are several other layers of detectors. The timing detectors are meant to give precise times to the motion along particle paths. The CMS trigger and data acquisition selects the most potentially interesting collision events and then records the relevant data. It discards the more benign events to keep the huge volumes of imagery information manageable.
