What is a period of restlessness for many of us can be turned into a time of reflection and learning from the safety of our homes. What better way to do that than with a healthy diet of physics-themed videos? 1/n

Let's start with John Ellis. We thought it's time to finally figure out what the Higgs boson is...

Watch the unlikely story of our most venerable accelerator, from the mouth of our most venerable coworkers ⤵️
To increase the number of collisions in the #LHC by a factor of 10, the High-Luminosity LHC project – #HiLumiLHC – will upgrade the quadrupole magnets in interaction points 1 and 5, using a new superconducting technology based on Niobium-tin.
For High-Luminosity, we need to reach magnetic fields of above 10 T. We will use Niobium-tin superconductor, which will allow reaching magnetic fields of about 12 T, but it requires a complex fabrication process. #HiLumiLHC part two: …
The third video of our series on LHC's upgrade to the #HiLumiLHC is about magnet testing.
Once the model magnet is done, it has to be tested on a cryogenic test stand to see the parameters and be sure that everything works as expected.
