New experiment shows that even the heaviest particles experience regular quantum weirdness
The ATLAS detector under construction. Courtesy of CERN One of the most astonishing predictions in physics is entanglement, a phenomenon in which objects remain linked to each other even when they are some distance apart. The best-known example of entanglement involves tiny packets of light (photons) and low energy. An experiment called ATLAS, conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)…

Preparing the LHC and its injector for the lead ion experiment in 2024
The current SPS supercycle repeats every 43.2 seconds, starting with a proton cycle in the SPS North Area, followed by a short lead ion cycle, then finishing the supercycle with another proton cycle. The white line represents the energy of the beam, the yellow line the number of protons, and the blue line the number of lead ions. Credit: CERN…
