The Large Hadron Collider launched after a three-year break and will look for “new physics”
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has resumed operation after more than a three-year hiatus. Today, for the first time in a while, two beams of protons swept through the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth.
The European Organization for Nuclear Research has spent the last three years maintaining and seriously upgrading the system. The scientists are now preparing to begin a new four-year work period of data collection.
Machinery and equipment underwent a major upgrade during the second long downtime of the accelerator complex. The LHC itself has gone through an extensive consolidation program and will now operate at even higher energies, and thanks to significant improvements to the injector complex, it will provide significantly more data for modernized experiments.
The new work cycle will start in the summer. Until then, LHC experts will work around the clock to gradually restart the machine and safely ramp up the energy and intensity of the beams before realizing collisions in experiments with a record energy of 13.6 TeV.
This third run of the LHC, called Run 3, will conduct collision data collection experiments not only with record-breaking energy, but in unprecedented quantities. Experiments with the ATLAS and CMS instruments can expect to see more collisions during this physics run than in the previous two physics runs combined, while the LHCb instrument, which underwent a full upgrade during shutdown, can see a threefold increase in collisions. . Meanwhile, ALICE, a specialized detector for studying heavy ion collisions, will receive a fiftyfold increase in the total number of recorded ion collisions due to the recent completion of a major upgrade.
One of the main tasks of Run 3 is the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. In fact, scientists will try to discover, as they often say now, “new physics”, which will allow to explain what the Standard Model does not allow to fully describe.
An engineering sample of the new flagship AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor lit up in a screenshot posted on the well-known Chinese forum Chiphell. The Windows task manager shows a frequency of 5.37 GHz, however, according to the insider Greymon55 (as well as data published on the Web earlier), the 16-core flagship of the Ryzen 7000 family will be able to overclock to 5.45 GHz with one or two active cores.
According to the same Greymon55, all Ryzen 7000 series processors will operate at a frequency of over 5.0 GHz when loading 1-2 cores. So, the maximum frequency of the Ryzen 7900X will be 5.3 GHz, the frequency of the Ryzen 7 7800X will be 5.2 GHz, the frequency of the Ryzen 5 7600X will be 5.1 GHz. Well, when loading all the cores, all these CPUs will be able to keep the frequency of 5.0 GHz.

Smartphones of the Xiaomi 12 line will soon cease to be the newest flagships of the company. Production of Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro has already begun
According to recent data, Xiaomi has already begun production of a new line of smartphones. We are talking about the Xiaomi 12T and 12T Pro models.
The source says that production has started in several countries at once, so the announcement is just around the corner.
Unfortunately, the insider did not add anything about the parameters of the devices. Previously, there was information that Xiaomi 12T Pro will be a copy of Redmi K50S Pro for the global market, and Xiaomi 12T will be a renamed Redmi K50S. By the way, these Redmi models have also not been presented yet, so we don’t really know anything about them. The older one is supposed to get Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1, and the younger one will be based on one of the MediaTek platforms. Quite possibly on the Dimensity 8100.
As for the source, it is the insider Mukul Sharma, who, for example, was the first to talk about Xiaomi Mi Note 10 with a 108-megapixel camera.
Headphones
Active noise cancellation, water resistance, wireless charging, and 12mm drivers for $32. mBlu Lifeme TWS headphones introduced
The Meizu range has expanded with mBlu Lifeme TWS fully wireless headphones. The device stands out for its price-performance ratio.
The novelty costs only about 32 dollars. At the same time, there is active noise cancellation, which in itself is very unusual. But that’s not all. For example, autonomy is declared equal to 6.5 hours, which is quite good. Together with the case, it is already 30 hours.
The headphones are based on 12 mm drivers. This does not guarantee high-quality sound, but usually these headphones have smaller drivers.
There is also moisture protection (IPx4), low latency gaming mode (50ms), Flyme function with pairing with a smartphone immediately after opening the case cover, and even wireless charging.
