How do we prepare for #restartingLHC? We asked scientists Delphine and Samer to share with us how their teams get ready for #BeamTime at the Large Hadron Collider – from testing all the equipment to ensuring that the machine protection systems are operating at peak performance. 🏋️ Stay tuned next week for the final part of this short spin-off of our #PhotoOfTheWeek series. | CERN

The 3000°C Test 🌡️ To endure the increased beam intensities and stored energies of CERN's next hadron collider, the High-Luminosity #LHC, the beam dump system - an essential part of the accelerator's machine protection systems - must be upgraded. Following extensive development and meticulous design, the HiRadMat experiment at CERN tested various materials' responses to beam impact. Proton beams were fired at them, heating them to 3000°C in mere microseconds. These results will guide the choice

The CERN Hadron Collider was fired up for a third round of testing in 2022. Pushing the boundaries of what humans understand about the nature of reality, scientists are saying we have yet to understand 96% of the universe that we are missing. ✨Stream Your Awakening✨ Fuel your conscious life with unlimited access to 8,000 original programs, practices, and films.
