The Large Hadron Collider, the world s largest and most powerful accelerator, is set to smash protons at near speed of life next month for the first time in two years.
Instant Expert: Particle physics: Revealing the mysteries of matter
Saturday 13 April, 10am - 5pm | Conway Hall, 25 Red Lion Square, London, WC1R 4RL
The Large Hadron Collider began smashing atoms together in 2009 and continues to throw up surprising insights into the fundamental building blocks of the universe. It’s via evidence from particle accelerators such at the LHC and its predecessors that we derived our best understanding of the nature of matter: the Standard Model of particle physics.
But what is the Standard Model and is it complete? Is it the final answer to the question of what atoms are made of? The Standard Model implies four forces of nature, could there be a fifth?
Particle accelerators have also given us evidence to answer other questions, such as what gives objects mass. They’ve also allowed us to explore mysterious particles like quarks and neutrinos. Join six leading experts to find out everything we know about what stuff is made of.

One of my favourite science and engineering facts is that an underground river was frozen to enable the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to be built! On its completion, it helped to complete the proverbial jigsaw of the Standard Model with is last piece,
A major upgrade of the collimation system of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) began during the first long shutdown of CERN’s accelerator complex (LS1, 2013–2015) and continued during LS2 (2019–2021), in preparation for the High-Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC). As its name suggests, the HL-LHC will surpass the LHC in terms of luminosity, i.e. the number of collisions that take place within the LHC experiments. The accelerator’s equipment therefore requires enhanced protection, which is where the collimation system comes in. What is a collimator? Collimators are movable blocks made of materials that can absorb particles. Shaped like jaws, they close tightly around the beam to clean up particles that stray from their path. The materials used for these jaws and their various components are capable of withstanding extremes of pressure and temperature, as well as high levels of radiation. Why do beams need cleaning? Particles that stray from the beam path could collide with sensitive accelera
