CERN's HLLHC: A New Dawn in Particle Physics
The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) has begun work on the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HLLHC), an upgrade to the current LHC near Geneva. The HLLHC, not a new particle accelerator but an upgrade to the existing LHC, will be capable of producing at least 40 million collisions per second, allowing scientists to potentially break down the Standard Model. The first foreign components of the HLLHC are set to arrive at CERN in 2023. The new magnets of the HLLHC, made of a niobium-tin alloy, can generate a magnetic field of 12 teslas, aiding in the precise collision of particles. The HLLHC is expected to start operations in 2030.

The Future of Particle Physics: The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HLLHC)
The Standard Model of particle physics is a solid theory, but it has its limitations. Researchers are aware that to expand our knowledge in the field of particle physics, they need to break down the walls of the Standard Model. However, this is a very difficult task. In fact, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) describes it as making the impossible possible. Fortunately, the physicists at this institution have a plan: the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HLLHC). This ambitious and extraordinarily promising project could bring us many surprises in the coming decade. The HLLHC will be the protagonist of the future circular collider planned by CERN. If the organization's current plan is followed, the HLLHC will be operational by the end of this decade and will be capable of producing at least 40 million collisions per second. The amount of data generated will be enormous, and a system capable of analyzing the data in real-time will be necessary to make decisions regarding each collision. The HLLHC is designed to significantly increase the number of collisions compared to previous iterations of the LHC. The luminosity measures the potential number of particle collisions per unit of surface and time. With an expected luminosity of 250 femtobarns per year, and a total of 4000 during its entire period of activity, the HLLHC will produce 100 billion billion collisions. Since the experiments began in the accelerator in 2010, up until the end of 2018, 150 femtobarns have been produced. According to the current planning of the CERN technicians, the modifications required to increase the luminosity of the LHC should be capable of producing 250 femtobarns per year, reaching 4000 during its entire period of activity. It is worth noting that the improvements introduced by the CERN technicians in the LHC respond to the need to find cracks in the Standard Model to expand our understanding of the world of particles. Some of the questions that physicists at CERN hope to answer with the help of the HLLHC include what property does dark matter have, why neutrinos are more massive than expected, and why there is no antimatter in the universe. These are undoubtedly fascinating questions. However, the plan of the CERN physicists does not end with the HLLHC. Once all operational cycles are completed, this institution plans to build the Future Circular Collider (FCC), a much larger accelerator capable of reaching much higher energies. Presumably, it will have a circumference of 100 km (the current LHC measures 27 km), and its construction will begin in 2038. The goal of the CERN physicists is for the FCC to reach an energy of 100 TeV during the second stage of the project. To understand the magnitude of this, we must remember that the current LHC operates at an energy of 16 TeV. Faced with this perspective, it is impossible not to be excited.
