CERN Scientists Have Finally Found the 'Ghost' Haunting Their Particle Accelerator

I wasn’t expecting there to be a ghost in the machine.

According to Popular Mechanics, the scientists at CERN have long dealt with a “ghost” haunting their facility. Well, according to a research paper published earlier this year, they’ve found it.


In layman's terms, this “ghost” is a resonant frequency that can be detected when beams are fired through CERN’s ring. Similar to how liquid in a glass will jostle around when you walk, this frequency does the same, only with beams of matter inside a particle accelerator. 



So sorry, there isn’t a ghost haunting the hallways of CERN after all — or at least not one we can prove, yet.
