When 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.by andrewrn

Love how often photos from inside CERN are indistinguisable from a sci-fi themed AAA game.Cutting-edge engineering at its finest.

> from inside CERN are indistinguisable from a sci-fi themed AAA gameOn that topic... Are there any games that plays out inside specifically CERN?

In Steins;Gate (VN/anime) a fictional CERN is the main antagonist https://steins-gate.fandom.com/wiki/SERNJust 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.

Speaking 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)by tux3

Is it the steel casing that becomes radioactive, or just the graphite itself? What sorts of transmutations are happening?by exabrial
