If you ever wanted to take a look at raw data produced by the Large Hadron Collider, but are missing the necessary physics PhD, here’s your chance: CERN has published more than 300 terabytes of LHC data online for free. The data covers roughly half the experiments run by the LHC’s CMS detector during 2011, with a press release from CERN explaining that this includes about 2.5 inverse femtobarns of data — around 250 trillion particle collisions. Best not to download this on a mobile connection then.
Despite the intimidating nature of the data, CERN has…
You can now download 300TB of data from the Large Hadron Collider
