La #PhotoDeLaSemaine présente l'installation de la fibre dans les cavités crabe du #LHC. Les cavités aident à incliner les faisceaux de protons, maximisant leur chevauchement aux points de collision et augmentant la probabilité de collision de particules. Ces cavités joueront un rôle important pour augmenter la luminosité – donc le nombre de collisions – d’un facteur cinq pour le #HiLumiLHC. La luminosité intégrée est un indicateur important des performances d’un accélérateur, étant proportionnelle au nombre de collisions qui se produisent dans un laps de temps donné. Plus elle est élevée, plus les expériences peuvent observer des processus rares. En savoir plus : [CERN_FR]
