Scientists from four Brazilian institutes collaborated in the Higgs discovery paper published in Physics Letters B and in the four main LHC experiments, more than 180 Brazilian scientists, engineers and students worked together. For example, since 1990, Brazilian institutes participated in all the main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCb. Open access helps not just established scientists to build careers but supports young researchers across the world. In a time where there is more knowledge than ever, access to reliable, credible, scientific information is important to help verify, acknowledge and back up scientific claims. The CERN Document Server already provides access to 100,000-plus articles and preprints from these large experiments and their number keeps steadily growing - a clear testimony of how knowledge leads to more knowledge, and research can be built. The Nobel prize 2017 was awarded to the founders of LIGO and this experiment would not have been possible to develop without the underlying open access software. In 2014, it directly observed gravitational waves for the first time – ripples in the fabric of space and time predicted by Albert Einstein 100 years earlier.
LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, is responsible of one of the major physics discoveries of the last decades.
When two worlds collide software#
The journal SoftwareX organised a Gravitational Waves special issue, publishing the software used, sharing code that helped collect and analyse the data of LIGO experiment. Open science is more than just open access to literature. This was a seminal moment in science, largely made possible through knowledge-sharing via CERN’s Open Data Portal Website, which released an incredible 29 terabytes of data from 300 million high-energy collisions. This exceptional way of working has helped lead to some of the biggest scientific breakthroughs this century, including the discovery of the Higgs Boson back in November 2014 where open access data helped validate predicted subatomic particle patterns. In celebration of this, now is a good time to reflect on the enormous strides in open access publishing that this project has helped facilitate.ĭue to the nature of their work and the timescale of their experiments, the nuclear and high energy physics community has always worked in an ‘open access’, collaborative way, this is often viewed as the exception in scientific research rather than the rule. In March, the scientific community celebrated the return of active experiments within the world’s biggest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Switzerland. Were I a audio-video guru, I would try to remix this myself so I could hear it more clearly.Céline Richard explains what the Large Hadron Collider has taught us about the importance of open access research What First Nations and First People on this continent have endured because of their heritage and cultures is descriptive of the basic flaws in humans as they now exist. This account is so important.heartbreaking, infuriating, depressing, and still pertinent to so many locations in not just Canada but this globe. I desperately wished to hear the words spoken by the principles in this film but because of the overlay of background audio, could barely distinguish the words.
the government treated (treats) indigenous people without respect yesterday and today.no wonder mainstream society remains rampant with racism. The government has taken their land, their resources and their lives.without any attempt in understanding or respecting the valuable culture of indigenous people.
