LHC Creates Cosmic Primordial Soup and Probes Strange Particle Jets | 80beats

Now that the Large Hadron Collider is smashing lead, the discoveries are coming fast and furious.
Earlier this month CERN’s smashing machine switched from sending protons zinging around its ring to sending heavy lead ions at relativistic speeds. Those energetic collisions, the physicists now say, have allowed them to use the LHC’s ALICE experiment to glimpse [...]
The Big Bang was not the beginning, Roger Penrose believes.
The eminent Oxford physicist has long advocated the wild idea of “conformal cyclic cosmology,” a cyclical universe without beginning or end in which the Big Bang 13.75 billion years ago was simply one of many. This month, Penrose pushed his idea further: His team says it [...]
CERN announced today that the ATLAS experiment has published its first measurements from lead-ion collisions. The measurement, of a phenomenon called jet quenching, opens up a new era in the ability of scientists to probe the behavior of the hot, dense matter--the quark gluon plasma--that existed microseconds after the Big Bang.

Scientists from the ALICE experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have publicly revealed the first measurements from the world’s highest energy heavy-ion collisions. In two papers posted today to the arXiv.org website, the collaboration describes two characteristics of the collisions: the number of particles produced from the most head-on collisions; and, for more glancing blows, the flow of the system of two colliding nuclei. Both measurements serve to rule out some theories about how the universe behaves at its most fundamental.
The ALPHA experiment at CERN has taken an important step forward in developing techniques to understand one of the Universe's open questions: Is there a difference between matter and antimatter? In a paper published in Nature today, the collaboration shows that it has successfully produced and trapped atoms of antihydrogen.

The LHC has been smashing lead ions since Sunday, and physicists are frantically analyzing what happens in the aftermath of these heavy-ion collisions at record energies and temperatures. This article addresses the big question: Why spend one month every year colliding heavy ions in the LHC?
This morning a press release went out from the Royal Astronomical Society about the Galaxy Zoo 2 paper I have previously blogged about (post about submission, arXiV link, post about acceptance).This paper on the trends of the fraction of disk galaxies which have bars is currently in press at Monthly Notices.
If you recall, our main [...]
