🕶 Discover CERN in Virtual Reality with this short clip. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) is a general-purpose detector at the LHC. It has a broad physics programme ranging from studying the Standard Model (including the Higgs boson) to searching for extra dimensions and particles that could make up dark matter. Al

The ATLAS Experiment at CERN has recently finalised the upgrading of one of the experiment’s sub-detectors, called the Small Muon Wheel (in spite of its 10m size, which is nothing but small!). In this teaser, announcing a live event featuring the detector, the new Small Muon Wheel is seen at the LHC surface hall, being finalised before being lowered 100 metres underground.
