Missing Baryons Found in Far-Out Reaches of Galactic Halos

Photo - A new study has found that a share of particles that has gone missing is most likely located at the distant bounds of galaxy haloes. The study found some of these particles of baryonic matter located about 6 million light-years from their galactic centers. This color-rendered image shows the halo of the Andromeda galaxy, which is the Milky Way’s largest galactic neighbor. (Credit: NASA)

U.S. Magnet Development Project for CERN Particle Collider Upgrade Moves Forward

Photo - The HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project magnets use conductors made of niobium-tin to generate a stronger magnetic field compared to predecessor technology. These world-record-setting magnets will have their debut in the HL-LHC: Its run will be the first time that U.S.-built niobium-tin magnets will be used in a particle accelerator for particle physics research.
