- The Large Hadron Collider | CERN
The Large Hadron Collider The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator It consists of a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way
- Facts and figures about the LHC - CERN
How was the LHC designed? Scientists started thinking about the LHC in the early 1980s, when the previous accelerator, the LEP, was not yet running In December 1994, CERN Council voted to approve the construction of the LHC and in October 1995, the LHC technical design report was published
- LHC - CERN
LHC Seven experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) use detectors to analyse the myriad of particles produced by collisions in the accelerator These experiments are run by collaborations of scientists from institutes all over the world Each experiment is distinct and characterised by its detectors
- Experiments - CERN
CERN is home to a wide range of experiments Scientists from institutes all over the world form experimental collaborations to carry out a diverse research programme, ensuring that CERN covers a wealth of topics in physics, from the Standard Model to supersymmetry and from exotic isotopes to cosmic rays Several collaborations run experiments using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most
- High-Luminosity LHC - CERN
Overview of the High Luminosity LHC project (Video: CERN) The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) project aims to crank up the performance of the LHC in order to increase the potential for discoveries after 2030 The objective is to increase the integrated luminosity by a factor of 10 beyond the LHC’s design value Luminosity is an important indicator of the performance of an
- Old The Large Hadron Collider | CERN
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator It first started up on 10 September 2008, and remains the latest addition to CERN’s accelerator complex
- First-ever collisions of oxygen at the LHC - CERN
LHC Page 1 today at 05:55 am (Image: CERN) A major event at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): the accelerator has just collided beams of protons and oxygen ions for the very first time From 29 June to 9 July, the LHC will switch to a special operations: two days of proton–oxygen ion collisions, followed by – additional firsts – two days of oxygen–oxygen collisions and one day of neon
- The Safety of the LHC - CERN
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) can achieve an energy that no other particle accelerators have reached before, but Nature routinely produces higher energies in cosmic-ray collisions Concerns about the safety of whatever may be created in such high-energy particle collisions have been addressed for
