The first collisions of #LHCRun3 🤩

In this #PhotoOfTheWeek, take a look at the first high-energy collisions recorded by the LHC's @ATLASexperiment, @CMSExperiment, @ALICEexperiment and @LHCbExperiment, as well as other experiments, such as @FASERexperiment and SND. 👇

A Toroidal LHC Apparatus (ATLAS) @ATLASexperiment

Display of a collision event recorded by ATLAS on 5 July 2022, when stable beams of protons at the energy of 6.8 TeV were delivered to ATLAS for the start of #LHCRun3.

Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) @CMSExperiment

Display of a collision event recorded by CMS on 5 July 2022, when the collisions at the record energy of 13.6 trillion-electronvolts (TeV) were first recorded by the #LHC experiments. #LHCRun3

A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) @ALICEexperiment

Display of a collision event recorded by ALICE on 5 July 2022. After three years of preparation, #physics data-taking begins with a fully upgraded ALICE detector.
