U.S. Brookhaven National Laboratory Achieves Milestones in High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider Upgrade
On July 29, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN concluded its recent run and entered a four-year shutdown for maintenance. During this shutdown, some LHC components will be dismantled and rebuilt for the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC) upgrade project. The U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory has recently achieved important production milestones in both accelerator and detector-related work. The LHC helps scientists study the fundamental structure of matter by accelerating and colliding two beams of protons traveling in opposite directions in a nearly 17-mile circular ring. The core goal of the HiLumi LHC upgrade is to significantly increase the number of particle collisions per unit time, i.e., enhance "luminosity," thereby increasing the chance of recording rare interactions.

Indiana University Team Participates in Large Hadron Collider Detector Upgrade
On July 28, 2026, physicists from Indiana University are participating in an international scientific collaboration to install new particle detector components at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, located near Geneva, Switzerland, to enhance scientists' ability to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The Large Hadron Collider is currently the world's largest particle accelerator, which helps researchers explore the structure of matter and fundamental interactions by colliding protons at near-light speeds and analyzing the particles produced in the collisions. Indiana University is a member of the ATLAS experiment collaboration, which comprises approximately 245 institutions from over 40 countries, with thousands of scientists...
