Hangout With Cern: Lhc And The Grid

In summary, "Hangout With CERN: LHC and the Grid - Big data, big questions" is a weekly live broadcast on Thursdays at 17:00 CET, where IT experts from CERN and the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) project discuss global computing and answer questions about big data. The previous week's broadcast discussed how global computing helps CERN store and analyze large amounts of data from the Large Hadron Collider, and the upcoming broadcast will focus on the latest developments surrounding the new particle discovered at CERN. Viewers can participate by posting questions on social media with the hashtag #askCERN. Previous broadcasts are available on the CERN YouTube channel, and viewers can also sign up for the International

Hangout With CERN: LHC and the Grid - Big data, big questions
Public · By CERN

usually every thursday 5:00pm in UTC+01

http://hangouts.web.cern.ch/

http://youtube.com/CERNTV

Last week we showed you how global computing helps CERN store, distribute and analysis around 25 Petabytes (25 million Gigabytes) of data generated per year from the Large Hadron Collider. This week we'll talk more about big data, and answer more of your big questions.

Join IT experts from CERN and the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) project - a global collaboration of more than 170 computing centres in 36 countries.

This "Hangout with CERN" is broadcast live on Thursday 14 February at 17:00 CET, on CERN's Google+ and YouTube pages, with a recording later available on YouTube.

You can post questions in advance in the comments below or on Twitter to @CERN with the hashtag #askCERN. We'll pick the best ones to answer and we may even invite you to participate in the live hangout!

The Large Hadron Collider has now entered its first long shutdown. But why? Why stop a machine that is working so well?

Oh wow, I didn't know the LHC was shutting down for so long.

What is the latest on the new particle discovered last year at CERN? In this Hangout with CERN, we find out what physicists are presenting at this week's Moriond conference in Italy. The new particle is looking more and more like a Higgs boson, but what do we know so far and what do we still need to know?
 

1. What is the LHC and what does it do?

The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in Switzerland. It is used to accelerate and collide particles at high energies in order to study the fundamental building blocks of matter and the forces that govern them.

2. How does the LHC work?

The LHC consists of a 27-kilometer long circular tunnel where two beams of particles (usually protons) travel in opposite directions and collide at four different points. The particles are accelerated through a series of superconducting magnets and guided by a series of accelerating structures called cavities. These collisions produce new particles that are then studied by detectors placed around the collision points.

3. What is the purpose of the Grid in relation to the LHC?

The Grid is a worldwide network of computers that allows scientists to store, analyze, and share the massive amounts of data produced by the LHC experiments. This data is too large to be handled by a single computer, so the Grid allows for distributed computing, where different computers work together to process the data. This allows scientists from all over the world to access and collaborate on LHC data.

4. What kind of research is being done at the LHC?

The LHC is used to study a wide range of topics in particle physics, including the search for new particles, testing the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics, and studying the properties of matter and antimatter. The LHC also plays a crucial role in research related to dark matter and dark energy, as well as the origin of the universe.

5. What are some potential applications of the LHC's research?

The research conducted at the LHC has the potential to impact many areas of science and technology. It can help us better understand the fundamental laws of nature, which can lead to new discoveries and technologies. The LHC's research can also have applications in fields such as medicine, energy, and computing. For example, the development of particle accelerators for medical use and the advancement of computer technology through the Grid.
