The UAB is participating in the LHC project to study the origins of matter
On 23 August the Scientific Information Port (PIC), a technological centre located on the campus of the UAB, started work on the first stage of the European project Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator in the world, which has the aim of reproducing conditions similar to those produced during the Big Bang in order to study... view more...

No sign of the Higgs
Are physicists spending billions on a wild goose chase? THE legendary particle that physicists thought explained why matter has mass, probably doesn`t exist. So say researchers who have spent a year analysing data from the LEP accelerator at the CERN nuclear physics lab near Geneva. The elusive... view more... (2001-12-05)
UK Companies encouraged to "Go for the Grid"
UK companies are this week (5th and 6th September) given encouragement to build long term relations with CERN (the European Laboratory for Particle Physics) with a view to winning contracts, especially related to the GRID. Mr Basil Eastwood, Her Majesty`s Ambassador to Switzerland, and Professor Ian Halliday, Chief Executive of the Particle... view more... (2002-09-02)
Physicists create BlackMax to search for dimensions in space at the Large Hadron Collider
A team of theoretical and experimental physicists, with participants from Case Western Reserve University, have designed a new black hole simulator called BlackMax to search for evidence that extra dimensions might exist in the universe. view more (2008-11-07)
Research Europe 11 April issue: stories on Cern cuts, R&D state aid, coal and steel, Framework 6 and Portugal's new science ministry
Cern cuts research to meet bill for LHC Research activities and support for fellowships at Cern are to be cut back in order to meet the shortfall in funds for building the Large Hadron Collider. In addition, the LHC is to start operation a year later than planned, while meeting the cost of building it will delayed for two years. This should... view more... (2002-04-11)
Grid Computing Steps up a Gear
UK plans for Grid computing changed gear this week. The pioneering European DataGrid (EDG) project came to a successful conclusion at the end of March, and on 1 April a new project, known as Enabling Grids for E-Science in Europe (EGEE), begins. The UK is a major player in both projects, providing key staff and developing crucial areas of the... view more... (2004-04-01)
e-Science, fundamental physics and the GRID
Research into e-Science reached a milestone in the UK today [Thursday 25 April] when Gordon Brown, The Chancellor of the Exchequer, opened The National e-Science Centre in Scotland. The centre, run jointly by the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, will provide a focal point for the UK`s involvement in e-Science initiatives and integrate... view more... (2002-04-25)
Nobel laureate Burton Richter to speak about future of particle physics
Particle physics is about to transform our thinking once again. Experiments of the last 15 years suggest new forms of matter, new forces of nature and perhaps even new dimensions of space and time. Pinning down the new ideas will require more data from larger and more expensive machines-at a time when funding is more difficult than ever to secure. view more (2007-02-16)
FSU physicist shining a light on mysterious 'dark matter'
We've all been taught that our bodies, the Earth, and in fact all matter in the universe is composed of tiny building blocks called atoms. Now imagine if this weren't the case. view more (2007-10-03)
Positive statement of the German Science Council about the International Accelerator Project TESLA
On Monday, July 15 2002, at 11 a.m., the German Science Council, installed by the German government, published its evaluation statement about large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences. It assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to be worth of support under... view more... (2002-07-15)
Big magnet ready to face the big questions of the universe
The largest superconducting magnet ever built has successfully been powered up to its operating conditions at the first attempt. Called the Barrel Toroid because of its shape, this magnet is a vital part of ATLAS, one of the major particle detectors being prepared to take data at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the new particle accelerator... view more...

German Science Council Recommends International Accelerator Project TESLA
The German Science Council, an agency of the German government, assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to, be worthy of support under certain conditions. The assessments of nine appraised large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences have been published today.... view more... (2002-11-18)
LHC completes the circle
At a brief ceremony deep under the French countryside today, CERN Director General Robert Aymar sealed the last interconnect between the main magnet systems in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This is the latest milestone in commissioning the LHC, the world's most powerful particle accelerator. view more (2007-11-08)
UCI scientists discover minimum mass for galaxies
By analyzing light from small, faint galaxies that orbit the Milky Way, UC Irvine scientists believe they have discovered the minimum mass for galaxies in the universe - 10 million times the mass of the sun. view more (2008-08-28)

Discovery Prospects at the Large Hadron Collider
Will scientists ever find the elusive Higgs particle, the last of the fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and postulated to play a major role in how fundamental particles get their masses? view more (2006-04-25)
LHC Computing Centres Join Forces for Global Grid Challenge
Today, in a significant milestone for scientific grid computing, eight major computing centres successfully completed a challenge to sustain a continuous data flow of 600 megabytes per second (MB/s) on average for 10 days from CERN in Geneva, Switzerland to seven sites in Europe and the US. The total amount of data transmitted during this... view more... (2005-04-26)
Physicists and engineers search for new dimension
The universe as we currently know it is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time, but researchers in the Department of Physics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech are exploring the possibility of an extra dimension. view more (2008-03-11)
