The fourth phase of the CERN openlab partnership to tackle exascale IT challenges for science Geneva, 9 May 2012. The fourth phase of CERN openlab was officially launched during a meeting of its board of sponsors taking place at CERN on 8 and 9 May. CERN openlab is a unique public-private partnership between CERN and leading information technology companies HP, Intel, Oracle, Siemens with contribution from Huawei. Its mission is to accelerate the development of cutting-edge solutions to be used by the worldwide community working on LHC data. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest particle accelerator, generates hundreds of millions of particle collision each second. The record, storage and analysis of these vast amounts of collisions present a massive data challenge: the LHC produces roughly 20 million Gigabytes of data each year. CERN openlab was created more than 10 years ago, to develop innovative, advanced IT systems required to cope with the unprecedented computing challenge of the LHC. It brings together the efforts of science and industry, working at the cutting edge of research to ever expand technological boundaries. The third phase of CERN openlab was officially closed during the meeting of partners. The assembly reviewed key achievements of the projects carried out, and agreed on their very positive impact on the development of the Grid and computing services which underpin the LHC.

safeperiodcalculator.com End of the World? Search for God Particle. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator complex, intended to collide opposing beams of protons charged with approximately 7 TeV of energy. Its main purpose is to explore the validity and limitations of the Standard Model, the current theoretical picture for particle physics. It is theorized that the collider will produce the Higgs boson, the observation of which could confirm the predictions and missing links in the Standard Model, and could explain how other elementary particles acquire properties such as mass. The LHC was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), and lies underneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is funded by and built in collaboration with over eight thousand physicists from over eighty-five countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories. The LHC is already operational and is presently in the process of being prepared for collisions. The first beams were circulated through the collider on 10 September 2008, and the first high-energy collisions are planned to take place after the LHC is officially unveiled on 21 October 2008. Although a few individuals have questioned the safety of the planned experiments in the media and through the courts, the consensus in the scientific community is that there is no conceivable threat from the LHC particle collisions. Concerns have been ...

CERN experiment makes spectroscopic measurement of antihydrogen Geneva, 7 March 2012. In a paper published online today by the journal Nature, the ALPHA collaboration at CERN* reports an important milestone on the way to measuring the properties of antimatter atoms. This follows news reported in June last year that the collaboration had routinely trapped antihydrogen atoms for long periods of time. ALPHA's latest advance is the next important milestone on the way to being able to make precision comparisons between atoms of ordinary matter and atoms of antimatter, thereby helping to unravel one of the deepest mysteries in particle physics and perhaps understanding why a Universe of matter exists at all. "We've demonstrated that we can probe the internal structure of the antihydrogen atom," said ALPHA collaboration spokesman, Jeffrey Hangst, "and we're very excited about that. We now know that it's possible to design experiments to make detailed measurements of antiatoms." Today, we live in a Universe that appears to be made entirely of matter, yet at the Big Bang, matter and antimatter would have existed in equal amounts. The mystery is that all the antimatter seams to have gone, leading to the conclusion that nature must have a slight preference for matter over antimatter. If antihydrogen atoms can be studied in detail, as ALPHA's latest result suggests, they may provide a powerful tool for investigating this preference. Hydrogen atoms consist of an electron orbiting a ...

The LHC will run with a beam energy of 4 TeV this year, 0.5 TeV higher than in 2010 and 2011. This decision was taken by CERN management following the annual performance workshop held in Chamonix last week and a report delivered today by the external CERN Machine Advisory Committee (CMAC). It is accompanied by a strategy to optimise LHC running to deliver the maximum possible amount of data in 2012 before the LHC goes into a long shutdown to prepare for higher energy running. The data target for 2012 is 15 inverse femtobarns for ATLAS and CMS, three times higher than in 2011. Bunch spacing in the LHC will remain at 50 nanoseconds.

Antigravity, CERN(LHC), Stargates & The Secret Space Progam and how they all are related to each other. Classified Anti-Gravity Aerospace Craft Using Reverse-engineered Extraterrestrial Technology There are (12) special-technology advanced aerospace platforms all using antigravity technology in some form. These 12 are: the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber, the F-22 Raptor advanced stealth fighter, and its successor, the F-35 Lightning II advanced stealth fighter; the Aurora, Lockheed-Martin's X-33A, the Lockheed X-22A two-man antigravity disc fighter, Boeing and Airbus Industries' Nautilus, the TR3-A Pumpkinseed, the TR3-B Triangle, Northrop's "Great Pumpkin" disc, Teledyne Ryan Aeronautical's XH-75D Shark antigravity helicopter, and the Northrop Quantum Teleportation Disc. The most primitive antigravity technology is electrogravitic. This involves using voltages in the millions of volts to disrupt the ambient gravitational field. This results in an 89% reduction in gravity's hold on airframes in such vehicles as the B-2 Stealth Bomber and the TR3-B Astra triangular craft. And given the considerable ambient ionization field I observed around the X-22A, it is reasonable to assume that extreme-voltage electrogravitics is also employed with these craft. The next level up of sophistication is magnetogravitic. This involves generating high-energy toroidal fields spun at incredible rpm's, which also disrupts the ambient gravitational field, indeed to the extent that a ...

Part 3/3 in the series exploring ALPHA's exciting recent results: measuring atoms of antihydrogen. Jeffrey and some younger ALPHA members explain why they are doing this in the first place; we go behind the scenes to see the challenges they encountered along the way last summer; and we get a hint of what lies ahead for 2012. Watch "Matter v. Antimatter" & the first 2 "Antimatter Breakthrough" films for context, and for more information on ALPHA's work go to CERN People on google+, where we've linked to mainstream coverage of the result & posted accounts from ALPHA members, or to the ALPHA website: alpha-new.web.cern.ch

Hundreds of millions of collisions per second -- Detectors collecting data to analyse 24/7 : the LHC and its experiements generate millions of gigabytes of data. The Computing Grid, a huge, worldwide network of computers was invented to manage, process and store these phenomenal volumes of data. How does it work ? Who uses it ? What is its performance since the LHC started up nearly two years ago? What are its other applications outside particle physics ? We're going to review all this with Oliver Keeble, Computing engineer at CERN who works on the computing Grid
