So it begins… the heavy-ion run at the #LHC 💪 Yesterday at 11.13 am, a new #HeavyIon run began at the Large Hadron Collider, smashing together lead ions at an energy of 5.36 TeV per nucleon pair. While the LHC mostly collides protons, once a year it collides heavy ions – such as lead nuclei – a key ingredient for preparing the primordial soup called the quark–gluon plasma, a state of matter known to have existed shortly after the #BigBang. For the next 17 days, every minute counts to take lead–lead collision data. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/ebGsbCXF ALICE Collaboration ATLAS Collaboration CMS Collaboration LHCb Collaboration

🔧 Join us for CERN's Virtual Thematic Day on Precision Machining! 🔧 We are excited to bring together industry experts and CERN technical specialists for a focused event on precision Machining. This is a unique opportunity for companies to engage with CERN and learn about forthcoming projects and cutting-edge techniques. 📅 Date: Friday 22nd November 🌍 Location: Virtual 🎯 Who should attend? Firms with the following capabilities: ·  In-house precision machining technologies; ·  Capacity to source raw materials or handle CERN-supplied materials; ·  Expertise in manufacturing prototypes, assemblies or small series productions; ·  Precision metrology capabilities; ·  (Optional) Advanced metal joining techniques like vacuum brazing, electron beam welding, or sheet metal forming. Don't miss this chance to see how precision machining is advancing at CERN and how your company can get involved! 🔗 Register here: https://lnkd.in/drcQq8-V #CERN #PrecisionMachining #Engineering #BusinessWithCERN #AdvancedManufacturing #Industry #Collaboration #Machining #Manufacturing #Precision #Metal #Metrology
