The LHC itself replaced a previous electron–positron collider in the same tunnel, called LEP, that was built in the 1980s. But CERN hosts many other experiments and technology programmes ...

After 25 years of smashing gold nuclei together at light speeds, Brookhaven National Laboratory’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider is hanging up its boots—erm, superconducting magnets.

Schopper advocated a less energetic hadron, or proton, collider reaching about 9 TeV in each beam to sit above the ring of magnets for CERN's Large Electron-Positron (LEP) collider, a circular ...
