Autopsy of an LHC Beam Dump

- RetroTechie 1y agoLove how often photos from inside CERN are indistinguisable from a sci-fi themed AAA game. Cutting-edge engineering at its finest.
- diggan 1y ago> from inside CERN are indistinguisable from a sci-fi themed AAA game On that topic... Are there any games that plays out inside specifically CERN?
- machinate 1y agoIn Steins;Gate (VN/anime) a fictional CERN is the main antagonist https://steins-gate.fandom.com/wiki/SERN https://steins-gate.fandom.com/wiki/SERN Just a shot of the LHC though, no other scenes with their facilities. Apparently CERN also appears its sister series Robotics;Notes, but I might play it someday so I won't spoil myself on how.
- ashleyn 1y agoAll I could think of was Half-Life. "Gordon!! The upstream extruded graphite disc has indeed been cracked!!"
- andrewrn 1y agoWhen I was in undergrad I helped assemble parts of the detector for the LHC beauty project. Didn't understand a lick of the physics, I was just a lowly lab assistant. But it was still pretty cool. Thanks for sharing.
- tux3 1y agoSpeaking of the beam dumps, looks like they just had to use them while I was reading. (Something about a fault with quench protection in sector 12. Hopefully the magnets are fine)
- exabrial 1y agoIs it the steel casing that becomes radioactive, or just the graphite itself? What sorts of transmutations are happening?
