The cyclotron itself is buried under layers of concrete blocks, to reduce the radiation being emitted. But the vast magnets still have an effect - directly above the centre of the cyclotron, small ferromagnetic objects such as paperclips would stand on end...

The aluminium foil covered things with a pipe sticking out is called a Roman Pot (because a group in Rome were the first ones to build such a detector) It is a movable detector that can go very close to the beam and measure protons that have lost energy by emitting a photon or a pomeron in the interaction with the beam coming in the opposite direction and did not break up in the process...The proton that has lost part of its energy then undergoes more deflection by the magnetic field in the beamline downstream of the experiment than the protons that have not lost any energy and can be detected slightly off-axis from the beam line. More information at the beginning of the set.

This is a two colour screenprint I made of clouds and ionization tracks in a cloud chamber.

 

A Wilson cloud chamber is basically a tank of condensed, supercooled water (or alcohol) vapour. It is used to detect high energy particles - ionizing radiation. The radiation, say from cosmic rays, or radioactivity, or particle accelerators and so forth, leave their distinctive trails in the "clouds". Because of conservation laws (conservation of angular momentum, and conservation of charge, in particular) you get these wonderful spiralling trails. If you look carefully, there's a whole lot of symmetries in the image. In fact, if you look really carefully and measure angles, it's possible to get the mass to charge ratio of the particle in question. It's really a magic piece of 20th century science instrumentation.

 

I printed the sky in pale blue, using a digitally manipulated photograph of the sky, and the ionization trails in sunny yellow. This is an artist's proof.

OK. Believe it or not, you're looking at the internet. Or at least a major part of it... when CERN's last collider was up and running in the late 80s and early 90s, they needed a way to crunch all the data they were getting... so they developed a way for computers to efficiently network and talk to one another. This eventually became the backbone of the internet. CERN's computing center is still one of the 3 main hubs for ALL internet traffic, meaning that you might be connecting through it right now.

 

This HAL-9000 kind of thing is the user interface for a room full of switches and hubs.

SLAC researcher Tomasz Biesiadzinski uses an LZ photomultiplier mock array to test wiring schematics at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. The full-scale mock array gives the LZ team a chance to practice before assembling the real thing, which will include 494 photomultiplier tubes, cables, thermometers and more.

While we were leaving, a big truck filled with (what I presume was) liquid nitrogen pulled up. Cool.

 

In the center of the detector, you can see the Central Outer Tracker, as well as some of the various calorimeters.

 

The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experimental collaboration is committed to studying high energy particle collisions at the world’s highest energy proton-antiproton collider. The goal is to discover the identity and properties of the particles that make up the universe and to understand the forces and interactions between those particles.

 

Even after shutdown, its data will still be analyzed for years to come.

Sample of the CMS superconducting solenoid magnet. The light grey part is very pure aluminium, the dark grey is standard aluminium and the small lines in the middle of the light grey areas are superconducting wires. Cooled down to -271°C, they will take 20000 Amps ! Providing the largest ever magnetic field of 4 Tesla. (Should be able to lift the Eiffel Tower about 10m with that) More pictures and explanations here

Introduction “The Stairway to Heaven Manuscript” – Blueprint to communicate with Infinite Intelligence…………… “I took 3 nights and 3 days off of work, to step by step find out why I ended up where I did, and what I was like in the past — there were a series of beliefs about changes, and problem solving, and crisis management, etc etc that were tied to negative beliefs, not positive — since you can’t change the past, the only way this could be done would be to change certain beliefs about types of events, and place them in a certain sequence working from the present to the past, systematically having all past experiences not have effected me at all. — I got to the sequence of changes needed, and found them to be “in theory” correct. Then I had to believe that if I could adopt these beliefs, in the order I had written, that they would work / instantly HEAL my Depression problem. I had to also believe that my mind would accept these new beliefs without question, and that I had come up with a way to fix all issues at once, and most importantly, the plan would work.

One of our Cornell graduate students giving a mostly chalkboard-based description of his analysis at CERN this morning. (A challenge for those of us used to presenting everything using PowerPoint!) Aleko measured the different rates of production of W+ and W- bosons at the LHC, which stems directly from the fact that each collision in the LHC is of two protons. Basically, since protons are positively charged, the collision of two of them is more likely to make a positively charged thing (W+) than a negatively charged thing. (In more technical language, each proton contains two positively-charged up quarks and only one negatively-charged down quark. Real experts will know that it's a bit more subtle than that, involving quarks pulled from the "sea" inside the proton.).

 

Aleko's precision measurement will help improve our understanding of the internal structure of the proton. The preliminary result is available here: cds.cern.ch/record/1563576?ln=en

Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), fnal.gov/ located just outside Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, is a US Department of Energy national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. As of January 1, 2007, Fermilab is operated by the Fermi Research Alliance, a joint venture of the University of Chicago, Illinois Institute of Technology and the Universities Research Association (URA). Fermilab is a part of the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor.

End of an LHC dipole

Biometric eye recognition... I had my eye measured in order to be able to enter the radiation controlled area when the LHC will have been running. No way to enter through this without one's dosimeter... No way any worker can yield to pressure to enter without dosimeter into a potentially hazardous area : without dosimeter, no eye recognition, and no entry. More pictures of what we have access through this door and explanations here

Everyone entering the facility needs their exposure to radiation logged. Dosimetry badges for employees, and a dosimeter carried by the guide for people on tours.

 

Radiation dose I received? Something along the lines of eating three bananas. I'll live with the risk.

Have a look at the set for explanations.

I was cleaning some old junk out of my apartment and found a binder that I had rescued from a trash bin at CERN quite a while ago (I think I did it just for the binder and page protectors, but then I never used them for anything). It was full of papers from a workshop held in Italy in 1993. You will notice that this is a transparency of the old-fashioned kind -- a piece of plastic that you put onto a projector.

 

TESLA was the name of a proposed e+e- linear collider to be built at DESY that was still being talked about when I was an undergrad (2001-ish). It was later folded into the NLC effort, later renamed the ILC, which is still an ongoing R&D effort. It may even be built in Japan eventually (not sure about the timescale).

 

I was also amused to see stuff in the binder about CLIC, which is a linear collider effort still going on at CERN now. The R&D there focuses on building a collider on an even longer timescale (with more advanced technology) than the ILC. I didn't realize they were already talking about it in 1993.

Segments of old beamline. The electromagnets help focus the stream of high-energy particles.

 

A single readout module from the silicon vertex detector of HERA-B, an experiment at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg that attempted to further our understanding of CP-violation (why there is lots of matter in the universe but hardly any antimatter).

 

I helped to assemble and test these little beauties and was given a dead one as a leaving gift, which I treasure. Finally I have the gear to photograph it, I hope I've done it justice.

 

More explanation here...

The electromagnetic calorimeter endcap is one of the last pieces to install.
