CERN holds a lot of secrets, here are a few I learned during my exploration of this mothership of particle physics. 🛡Get a FREE 30-day trial of Dashlane Premium with this link: http://dashlane.com/trace, and use the promo code ‘trace’ to get 10% off after that!🛡 Remember when I visited #CERN? Of course you do, I’ve been talking about it for months. The Center for European Nuclear Research is a treasure-trove of science stories, explainers and mind-blowing craziness. In this episode of #HelloScience I revisit Andrea and Steve and share a few secrets hidden in plain sight at CERN. Secrets like the resonance of the beam, the fact that particles don’t actually smash, they just interact, and the ephemeral nature of what it’s like to work at the worlds preeminent #nuclearresearch station. There are some secrets of atomic research that I’m so lucky to get to tell, but getting to fly to Geneva, stay in a rental and visit the campus for a couple of days isn’t free. Luckily, I have my patrons. Thank you, fam. I couldn’t do stuff like this without you!

A few seconds of effort on your end really goes a long way, and thanks for even reading this paragraph, it means a lot. 💕 Music by Epidemic Sound: http://epidemicsound.com/creator Hello Science opening sound by Twin Musicom Some stock footage provided by Storyblocks. ~~~ 👾 SOCIALS 👾 ~~~ Follow me on the tweet-machine & insta: 📷:: http://instagram.com/tracedominguez 🐤:: http://twitter.com/tracedominguez 😐:: http://facebook.com/official.tracedominguez 🎮:: http://twitch.tv/mrtraced ~~~ 🐱 LYNX 🐱 ~~~ The future of CERN is all about the High-Luminosity LHC: https://home.cern/resources/faqs/high-luminosity-lhc  https://home.cern/science/accelerators/high-luminosity-lhc https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.08830 Here’s the history of CERN and how we got here: http://timeline-fr.web.cern.ch/timelines/The-Large-Hadron-Collider?page=3 First light: https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/200810/lhc.cfm The future of CERN is going to be an even larger particle accelerator: https://www.universetoday.com/141252/cern-is-planning-to-build-a-much-larger-particle-collider-much-much-larger/ === 😘 SPECIAL THANKS 😘 === To my patrons (I mentioned Patreon above too, but y’all are just great) and to the Press Office at CERN. I feel so lucky. ~~~~~ 🐣 EASTER EGGS FOR READERS 🐣 ~~~~~ P.S — If you wonder how the beam makes bunches (because I did) Andrea touched on that too, but I had to cut it out for time (and it just didn’t fit). In the PS — proton synchrotron — there are radio frequency cavities… “They have like these magnetic fields, and where you can shape the bunch. So you can pick. [If there are] radio frequency buckets that are smaller, the bunch is going to follow them and then you can split … the massive bunches [in the PS and then inject those into the] SPS and someday later in the LHC.” — Andrea P.P.S — Andrea also says, “the bunch is not going to stay together naturally, because the protons repel each other. We have a lot of measures [to pack the beam tighter], like, radio frequency cavities that, every time the bunch passes, repacks it.” SO COOL. TRACE DOMINGUEZ, OUT. Love you, #nerdfam! Stay #curious!
