Two of my students at the Particle Physics course @cienciasuminho building an hand made cloud chamber to "see" particles. It was a fun activity and the movie got quite cool, I think.

The ATLAS collaboration at @CERN has observed top quark pairs in collisions between lead ions, marking the first observation of this process in interactions between atomic nuclei! 🎇 Learn more about this new result: atlas.cern/Updates/Briefi…

So it begins… the heavy-ion run at the #LHC 💪 Yesterday at 11.13 am, a new #HeavyIon run began at the Large Hadron Collider, smashing together lead ions at an energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair. While the LHC mostly collides protons, once a year it collides heavy ions – such…

Target reached ✅ Only ten days later, on 23 September, an additional 10 femtobarns were integrated, reaching the 110 femtobarns target set for 2024. 2024 has been the most productive year for the #LHC Find out more: home.cern/news/news/acce…

A lucky day for physics at the #LHC 🍀 Earlier today, the Large Hadron Collider reached an integrated luminosity of 100 inverse femtobarns – equivalent to ten million billion collisions – delivered to the @ATLASexperiment and the @CMSExperiment in 2024, with 28 days of…
