Using cosmic rays at the LHC

When we're running the LHC at CERN, muons from cosmic rays are pretty annoying and we have to remove their tracks from our data. But when the LHC is off, they become useful to us. Watch this short to find out how!

this channel is underrated

[@ParticleClara]

Thank you so much! It means a lot to read this ☺️

On a general point. I think CERN should have its own UA-cam. No matter what keywords I searched the only videos that came up are CERN apocalypse for Horse Man of Physics. Ancient gods and portals. Black holes and evil governments. It is nearly impossible to find a serious physic video with CERN in its title.

CERN does have its own UA-cam channel. It's here: ua-cam.com/users/cern
Unfortunately, you're right that there are many conspiracy videos that fill up the search results, so it's hard to find the genuine videos.

@@ParticleClara thank you 😊 🙏

This short is taken from a live tour of the ATLAS Experiment cavern in March. I was joined by my colleague, Dylan van Arneman.

Wow this is cool

[@AngelLuisEspada1970]

I like your earring 😊

[@jodeljorda8155]

Nice job fed

[@patlemay8006]

you seem so busy how do you make time for teaching us

[@Spacepizzaa]

What are the possibilities from the lhc

[@Mort7an]

Amazing!

[@samrobley]

How do you cater for muon interference/noise on the detectors? Is it a pretty constant flow so you can account for it?

[@behappy-hk2hm]

You are very lucky

[@ParticleClara]

I do feel very fortunate to get to work here!

[@SonnyFetter]

American companies need to switch to hardhats like that.

[@achosenone44]

not even human demonic !!!

[@Spacepizzaa]

Ma’am isn’t the lhc dangerous to use

[@jayhope615]

MY MICROWAVE OVEN IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THIS THING.

[@ParticleClara]

It isn't, unless you're stood right next to it when it's running. Which is one reason we put it 100m underground with lots of access restrictions. The collisions that we're doing are at much lower energies than particle collisions in nature, also we have a lot of fail safes in our equipment, so if it broke it would shut itself off.

[@Spacepizzaa]

Can a normal person like me get to see when the lhc is being used

[@knockoneoff3987]

You're beautiful.

[@j.d.gillespie9687]

You're even beautiful in your hardhat!
