Firing particles at each other at 99.99% of the speed of light, the LHC is back in the race to discover new physics.
While there is still work to be done learning about the Higgs boson, the LHC is equipped to do much more besides that.
Two new detectors installed during the LHC's recent shutdown are FASER, the Forward Search Experiment, and SND, the Scattering and Neutrino Detector.
FASER and SND are able to get away with being so small because"the LHC produces a huge number of neutrinos, so you need less mass in the detector to get some of them to interact, and the neutrinos produced in the LHC's collisions are extremely high energy, and the probability of interaction goes up with energy," Jamie Boyd, a spokesperson for FASER, told Space.com., in disused tunnels that were once part of the LHC's predecessor, the Large Electron-Positron Collider.
