LHC's New Chip Tackles Radiation Challenges
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. Deep in the belly of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), about 400 million particle collisions are happening in a single second. But as the LHC undergoes upgrades and becomes the High Luminosity-LHC, the number of collisions will increase to an astounding ~1.5 billion collisions or more per second. Capturing all these events via detectors and analyzing the staggering amount of data created from each ex
