About this listen

 The Large Hadron Collider is best known to collide protons. At CERN, every morning, scientists are known to collide something else as well – coffee and conversations. Just like a perfect blend of coffee, the Emc2 video podcast brings you the hottest science topics straight from the scientists of CERN.CERN Physics Science

    6: Tangled Up in Quarks
    Apr 14 2025
    In this special episode celebrating the United Nations' International Year of Quantum Science and Technology and World Quantum Day, we dive into the mysterious world of quantum entanglement—this time, at the scale of top quarks.

    Join us as we speak with Giulia Negro (CMS Experiment, Purdue University) and Yoav Afik (ATLAS Experiment, University of Chicago), two physicists behind groundbreaking results from the Large Hadron Collider's biggest experiments.

    From the birth of quantum mechanics 100 years ago to its latest tests in high-energy proton collisions, we explore how the weirdness of the quantum world continues to unfold—one quark pair at a time.

    5: Exploring matter–antimatter asymmetry with LHCb
    Feb 4 2025
    Why does our universe seem to be made almost entirely of matter, with barely any antimatter in sight?

    Join us as we dive in this podcast episode of Early Morning Coffee at CERN (Emc2) into the fascinating world of LHCb, the LHC's beauty experiment, with two leading experimentalists, Yasmine Amhis and Patrick Koppenburg. We explore how the LHCb experiment is probing CP violation to studying hadrons containing b and c quarks and preparing for the High-Luminosity LHC era. Discover what makes LHCb unique—its asymmetric design and its remarkable success in identifying new hadrons.

  • 4: Turning lead into primordial soup

    4: Turning lead into primordial soup
    Dec 16 2024
    How can the Large Hadron Collider turn lead into primordial soup and why?

    Join us as we dive into the world of heavy ion collisions at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In this episode, we connect with an expert from the LHC’s Beam Operations team and a researcher from the ALICE experiment to uncover the science behind colliding lead ions instead of protons. What does it take to vapourize lead, strip off its electrons, and accelerate it to near-light speeds for these extraordinary collisions? And why are these collisions important?

    We’ll explore the challenges of lead ion collisions, how they differ from proton collisions, and the unique role of the ALICE experiment in studying their results. From measurements to discoveries, we’ll unpack the insights gained from these experiments while offering a glimpse into the future of research at the LHC.

    Tune in to explore the fascinating intersection of physics, experimentation, and cutting-edge discovery.
