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.

Today’s #PhotoOfTheWeek is all about the @LHCbExperiment. We are almost ready for #restartingLHC, so here are some of the tasks involved in the upgrade of the LHCb experiment. 💪
@LHCbExperiment ✅ Upgrade of the VErtex LOcator, a detector used to determine the exact point where the particles collide. One of its sensors is just 5mm away from the beam. Brand new modules were installed, with 40 million active pixels.
@LHCbExperiment ✅ New mirrors for the ring-imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors: this system consists of two huge digital cameras that measure the speed of particles. The lens system of the cameras is made of about 200 flat and spherical mirrors immersed in special gases.
