What's new at the LHCb experiment at CERN?

Rolf Lindner, technical coordinator of the LHCb experiment at CERN, describes the major renovations taking place underground and the new data centre above ground.

I don't get it. It is CERN's official channel and only 101K subs. Humanity needs saving.

Discovering "new physics". Exciting, can't wait to hear the results.

On prem data center... nice going CERN. People in this cloud age underestimate the value of a powerful, locally available compute environment.

So curious about RICH1 and RICH2 if you're go to read ECAL, everyone not expert interpretates it like "ECALORIMETER"...I've asked him what about new data(s) cause are there smallest "physicalpart(icel)s" than HIGGS BOSON?

With all the money being spent they could invest a bit more in a decent communication program.

I sent my friend a text and she received it the following day. I couldn't believe my message had traveled 24 hours into the future.

So what happens when these "unknown physics" bring something horrible upon the earth? What then???
They have even mentioned, themselves, that things can possibly come through or go through....what is the plan for dealing with anything that "comes through?"

Go Cern Go. Figure out how to make gold!

If I was a particle in the LHC I'd want to be forced into collision with the same elements. It proves that not everything goes forever. Things can be taken away from the universe. RIP Particles. If you were always in existence since an infinite beginning. Existence can still end. Literally you guys are destroying the universe bit by bit. Lol. Nothing compared to Dark holes.
