Start of Run 2 of the LHC

3 June 2015

The Cavendish HEP group are today starting to look at the new data arriving from the Large Hadron Collider. The declaration of “stable beams” by CERN this morning allows physicists to study collisions at 13 TeV of energy for the first time. This energy range may reveal new particles, perhaps those which make up dark matter...
