Early Universe was a liquid: First results from the Large Hadron Collider's ALICE experiment

(PhysOrg.com) --" In an experiment to collide lead nuclei together at CERN's Large Hadron Collider physicists from the ALICE detector team including researchers from the University of Birmingham have discovered that the very early Universe was not only very hot and dense but behaved like a hot liquid..."

"By accelerating and smashing together lead nuclei at the highest possible energies, the ALICE experiment has generated incredibly hot and dense sub-atomic fireballs, recreating the conditions that existed in the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. Scientists claim that these mini big bangs create temperatures of over ten trillion degrees..."

First Z bosons detected by CMS in heavy-ion collisions

Candidate Z Boson decaying to two electrons (two tallest red towers) in a lead-lead heavy ion collision at CMS. The other red and blue towers indicate energy deposits in CMS from other particles produced.

"Z bosons produced in collisions of heavy ions have been observed for the first time by the CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). CMS observed 10 events containing a distinctive candidate Z boson reconstructed from a pair of electrons or a pair of muons (see figures 1 and 2 respectively), whose invariant mass is consistent with the Z boson mass..."

The Big Bang was Hirsute

"With the outer tracking systems turned on the images of heavy ion collisions from ALICE get even better. Up to 3000 charged particles are produced and tracked as the radiate out from the central collision point. As they reach the outer detector they are bent by powerful magnets so that the energy of each one can be measured to get a complete picture of the fallout from the quark gluon plasma produced in the centre of the detector..."  Philip Gibbs

A Mini "Big-Bang" at the LHC

Heavy Ion Collision at LHC, ALICE detector

This animation shows a 3D view of one of the first heavy ion collisions recorded at the Large Hadron Collider in CERN. This event was seen on 7th November 2010 when Lead nuclei collided with a total energy of 574 TeV leaving a shower of thousands of particles.

Birth of the universe 're-created': Large Hadron Collider generates 'mini Big Bang'

Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider have created a ‘mini Big Bang’ in an experiment that mimicked conditions a millionth of a second after the birth of the universe.
By colliding lead ions – atoms of lead stripped of their electrons – at close to the speed of light, researchers generated temperatures a million times hotter than the centre of the sun.

End of the world?, the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ) by T56rOx

The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most complex scientific instrument ever built and the highest energy particle accelerator in the world.
The accelerator is located 100 m underground and runs through both French and Swiss territory. ( 27km circumference)

Large Hadron Collider

"The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 TeV per particle or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV per nucleus. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, which seem to block further progress in understanding the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (570 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. It is the world's largest machine read more:." Wikipedia.

What will the Large Hadron Collider reveal?
"With its successful test run at the end of 2009, the Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, seized the world record for the highest-energy particle collisions created by mankind. We can now reflect on the next questions: What will it discover, and why should we care?"
