Investigating cosmic mysteries by smashing protons together.
after a three-year hiatus planned to implement upgrades. In the 14 years since it was first turned on, the particle accelerator has explored some of the biggest mysteries in the universe, colliding countless particles at near the speed of light in a tunnel 328 feet underground.
The Higgs boson was suggested as an explanation for why certain particles have mass. The particle is associated with what is called the Higgs field, which gives mass to other elementary or fundamental particles likeand the quarks that make up protons. The particle even gets its own mass from interactions with the Higgs field.
."By contrast, if the direct and indirect experiments detect a signal from a dark-matter particle interaction, experiments at the LHC could be designed to study the details of such an interaction."The Dark Energy Camera imaged 10 selected areas of the sky called deep fields. The multiple images of each provided astronomers with a glimpse of distant galaxies and how they are distributed throughout the universe.is similar to dark matter, their connection lies in the name alone.
"The LHC has really broken new ground in the search for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles," dark-matter theorist Tim Tait of the University of California Irvine involved in the LHC Dark Matter Working GroupSo far, the LHC has attempted to spot this dark matter candidate. Scientists have used the LHC to look for WIMPs by searching for signals of what might be created by, for example, WIMPs interacting with ordinary matter, Tais said.
"I still hold a fire for WIMPs," John Ellis, a particle physicist, told Space.com earlier this year. In a study, researchers simulated early galaxy formation in the early universe under three dark matter scenarios: a universe filled with cold dark matter ; warm dark matter ; and fuzzy dark matter . Even though physicists haven't yet"caught" either the axion or this similar variety, it's possible that future experimentation with the LHC might shed new light on this particle mystery, potentially confirming scientists' suspicions about the axion or finding new information that changes existing ideas entirely. were spotted for the first time
