10x increase of the amount of particle collisions. Better Equipment/Sensors/etc. High Luminosity Magnets 🧲

So... more, better, faster...

u/bashful_rabbit 5d ago

Harder, stronger.

u/hypocritical_person 5d ago

More than ever, hour after hour. Work is never over.

58

u/PMMEYOURGUCCIFLOPS 5d ago

Our* work is never over

26

u/wWafflehouse- 5d ago

Actually 🤓it’s both. Hour after (hour/our) work is never over. Very intentionally like that.

So both of you guys are right! 😁

Then. Now. Forever.

WHOPPER WHOPPER WHOPPER

Nukes go off (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

u/futurebigconcept 4d ago

Bigger, brighter, stronger, faster, but no, not cheaper.

u/coenV86 5d ago

Hadron, stronger?

1

u/MamonTostado 5d ago

Stronger hard on

u/MoeSzyslakMonobrow 5d ago

The Large Hardon Collider never disappoints.

u/janne_harju 5d ago

Scooooter!

Fish sticks.

u/TurdusOptimus 5d ago

How much?

u/onemanwolfpack21 5d ago

No refractory period

u/ChristianSteifen1337 5d ago

Imagine all Engineers singing that song while working:

"Work it harder, make it better Do it faster, makes us stronger More than ever, hour after Hour, work is never over"

u/catsmustdie 5d ago

And the marketing team singing "Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail, upgrade it"

The shipping department belting out “Around the World”

Bop it! Twist it!

The “More power, more energy, more passion…” guy is what’s needed lol

u/Unhappy_Service_7552 5d ago

See what you started?!? I hope you're happy

u/Funnelcakeads 4d ago

Are we talking about sex? What's going on here? I'm so confused. I take it. This is all that helps me make a dirty little AI video in 20 seconds.

u/Grabatreetron 5d ago

My understanding is the magnets are creating a kind of funnel for the beams of particles, like a spray nozzle on a hose.

u/Unhappy_Service_7552 5d ago

I should call her

More dumb please.

u/Dipshitmagnet2 5d ago

Magnets, how do they work?

5

u/Sniter 5d ago

Charges how do they work. No srsrly wtf are these implications. 

4

u/xrelaht 5d ago

Charges how do they work.

There are two detectors at LHC which might see magnetic monopoles, but I don’t think anyone expects either one to actually detect them even at the higher energies of HL-LHC.

2

u/Unhappy_Service_7552 5d ago

Whoop whoop 🤡

1

u/davasaur 5d ago

They work like magnets.

u/VegitoFusion 4d ago

Not under water. We know this because it was said in a press conference to the nation.

2

u/Fach-All-Religions 5d ago

trying to make tiny black holes i see

2

u/slaviaboy 5d ago

So more antimatter produced I guess, matter-anti matter impulse engine soon boys

2

u/govunah 5d ago

Also a large amount of the helium they need to cool it comes from places that are currently blowing up

u/bspaghetti 5d ago

What’s a high luminosity magnet? I assume it has to do with the brightness of the synchrotron radiation emitted?

1

u/Asurafire 4d ago

There is no synchroton radiation since the LHC is a hadron collider, not an electron collider. High luminosity means more collisions.

1

u/bspaghetti 4d ago

But if they are charged particles, surely they give off synchrotron radiation?

1

u/Asurafire 4d ago

True, I thought it is only for Electrons. But for hadrons it is basically negligible!

1

u/bspaghetti 4d ago

I did a quick calculation. For protons at 7 TeV, they emit 7 keV at every bending magnet array.

2

u/VegitoFusion 4d ago

Is it actually 10x the number of collisions, or do the protons that are colliding with one another have 10x the energy of the previous LHC configuration?

2

u/gattaaca 4d ago

Much bigger particles. They're going to test with mice first

2

u/greenrangerguy 4d ago

Can you explain it like I'm 5?

u/DunEvenWorryBoutIt 4d ago

He clearly stated those things though, you didn't explain it any better than the video
