ICHEP 2010 conference highlights first results from the LHC
ICHEP 2010 conference highlights first results from the LHC. Geneva, 26 July 2010. First results from the LHC at CERN 1 are being revealed at ICHEP, the world's largest international conference on particle physics, which has attracted more than 1000 participants to its venue in Paris. The spokespersons of the four major experiments at the LHC - ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb - are today presenting measurements from the first three months of successful LHC operation at 3. TeV per beam, an energy three and a half times higher than previously achieved at a particle accelerator. With these first measurements the experiments are rediscovering the particles that lie at the heart of the Standard Model - the package that contains current understanding of the particles of matter and the forces that act between them. This is an essential step before moving on to make discoveries.
