Скачать или смотреть Rice University at CERN: Unlocking the Origins of the Universe

At CERN, Rice University researchers are part of a massive international collaboration using the Large Hadron Collider to study the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The collider smashes particles together at near light speed, and physicists analyze the resulting cosmic debris to answer questions about how the universe began. Rice has a long history of contributing to this effort helping design and build critical components for the CMS detector. This collaboration, which led to the discovery of the Higgs boson, exemplifies a global effort for the public good, with innovations also influencing fields like medicine and technology. Rice researchers are now preparing for major upgrades to the detector, which will help unlock even more secrets of the universe.
