Live webcast of the 13 TeV restart of the CERN Large Hadron Collider

Wednesday, 03 Jun 2015

After some test “prototype” collisions a couple of weeks ago, the LHC should today become a working production line for proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV.

Summary: The LHC is back in business again, producing data for physics at 13 Tera electron volts.

The live webcast is now finished, but there is a question-answer session on twitter with hashtag #13TeV.

You can see the events as thery are collected in real time:

ATLAS : CMS : LHCb : ALICE

Here is a summary of the progess and milestones over the last few months and what it means. Here is a news article on today’s events.

Philosophy of the Large Hadron Collider | Michael Krämer | Life & Physics

There have been many tedious discussions about the value of philosophy for modern science. I find it much more interesting to ask if and in what way modern science can advance philosophy
