1 Alla scoperta della realtà: le nuove frontiere di Fisica e tecnologia al CERN 30 Ottobre 2014, Liceo Scientifico G. Galilei TRIESTE Lucio Rossi CERN High Luminosity LHC Project Leader

2 L inizio: Padova, Genn «cose mai viste prima»

3 Poi: Manchester la nuova frontiera: l atomo Rutherford (a destra) e Geiger nel laboratorio dell Università di Manchester

4 Particle physics looks at matter in its smallest dimensions Why accelerators? To investigate Particle Physics Accelerators Microscopes Binoculars Optical, radio télescopes Accelerators are the finest microscopes: acto-scope or zepto-scope = h/p T = 1 TeV m Lucio Rossi Padova 4

5 AcceleratorI: macchine del tempo Viaggio indietro nel tempo t s 1/E 2 Gev T 1 ps per creazione di particelle singole T 1 s per fenomeni collettivi QGS (Quark-Gluon Soup) In ogni caso poi rimane il compito di spiegare come si arriva alla complessità che si sviluppa nei 13,7 miliardi di anni che seguono... Molto più difficile! Lucio Rossi Padova 5

6 Opposite extremes in the space Big Bang scale converge in time! Protone Atomo Raggio della Terra Distanze Terra Sole Radius of galaxies LHC Universe Actoscope We were sure that the atom was something solid, then the nucleous came, then Hubble WMAP VLT ALMA

7 The SM: the superb construction of the last 40 years Leptons Quarks u up d down e electron n e e-neutrino c charm s strange muon n -neutrino t top b bottom t tau n t t-neutrino g gluon g photon W W boson Z Z boson Particles and Forces Each with its own antiparticle Brian Foster Higgs Boson? Lucio Rossi Padova 7

8 What remains to be done? The Standard Model is a very good description of the Universe at the particle scale (~2M W ) But does not explain many things Why so many particles? Why so many forces? What is mass? Why do particles have the masses they have? How do neutrinos get mass? Are neutrinos different? How do they fit in? What is Dark Matter? Dark Energy? Why is matter different from antimatter? (Where did all the antimatter go?) Lucio Rossi Padova 8

9 mass energy of the universe

10 Methods of Particle Physics 1) Concentrate energy on particles (accelerator) 2) Collide particles (recreate conditions after Big Bang) 3) Identify created particles in Detector (search for new clues) Both demand edge technology : superconductivity and many others Lucio Rossi Padova 10

11 Accelerators Vac RF cavity Bend - Focus

12 CERN accelerator chain Tradition matters For scintific knowledge From LINAC, through synchrotrons, to the LHC H?? 2004: The 20 member states Lucio Rossi Padova 12

13 LHC: the giant and its large «eyes» LHCb CMS ATLAS Exploration of a new energy frontier in p-p and Pb-Pb collisions ALICE Largest magnetic system (15 GJ) Four gigantic underground caverns to host huge detectors The highest energy accelearator At a temperature colder than outer space LHC ring: 27 km circumference Lucio Rossi Padova 13

14 The LHC: what it will look like The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be the most powerful instrument ever built to investigate particles properties. Four gigantic underground caverns to host the huge detectors The highest energy of any accelerator in the world The most intense beams of colliding particles It will operate at a temperature colder than outer space Lucio Rossi Padova 14

15 Superconductivity An enabling technology The LHC has a circumference of 26.7 km, out of which some 20 km of main superconducting magnets operating at 8.3 T. Cryogenics will consume about 40 MW electrical power from the grid. If the LHC were not superconducting: If it used resistive magnets operating at 1.8 T (limited by iron saturation), the circumference would have to be about 100 km, and the electrical consumption 900 MW (a good-size nuclear power plant), leading to prohibitive capital and operation costs.

23 LHC: The restart first events

24 An experiment similar to the one carried out by Rutherford exactly Search based on ratio of jet pairs (leading dijets) 100 years earlier I quarks SONO VERAMENTE ELEMENTARI? R Dijets Dijets The observed limit is L < 4.0 TeV at the 95% CL Probing sizes < cm Lucio Rossi Padova 24

25 Hints indicating a possibility December 2011: 99% probability Higgs 2 Z 4

26 The Higgs: the needle in a haystack Z μμ Z μμ event from 2012 data with 25 reconstructed vertices

27 4 July 2012 : Boson got!

28 Brout Englert Higgs mechanism 2013 Nobel Prize for the theoretical discovery of a mechanism that contributes to our understanding of the origin of mass of subatomic particles, and which recently was confirmed through the discovery of the predicted fundamental particle, by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider

34 The web: shows that truth is valuable! 1989 WEB is born at CERN 2009 the celebration Tim Berners-Lee Robert Cailliau Lucio Rossi Padova 34

43 L importanza del maestro Il tramandarsi una tradizione tiene viva la domanda grandi scuole di fisica Assicura, aiuta, che l esperienza sia un cammino verso una certezza piu grande con un metodo che è quello di tutte le realtà umane positive: Verifica onesta: esperienza Dedizione, affezione Capacità di lavorare insieme Confronto tra l esperienza e l ipotesi Condivisione risultati: da questo la domanda si alimenta Lucio Rossi Padova 43
