LHCb reports first 5σ observation of charm mixing
The large cross-section for charm production at the LHC, and the geometry and instrumentation of the LHCb detector, provide samples of charmed hadrons far larger than those accumulated by previous exp...

Using the LHC as a photon collider
The protons and nuclei accelerated by the LHC are surrounded by strong electric and magnetic fields. These fields can be treated as an equivalent flux of photons, making the LHC the world’s most pow...
