Large Hadron Collider - Wikipedia
WEBLarge Hadron Collider (engleză pentru „mare accelerator de hadroni ”; pe scurt LHC) este un accelerator de particule, construit la Centrul European de Cercetări Nucleare CERN, între Munții Alpi și Munții Jura, lângă Geneva. Construcția a fost finalizată în mai 2008 și a costat peste trei miliarde de lire sterline.
Facts and figures about the LHC | CERN
WEBThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built. The accelerator sits in a tunnel 100 metres underground at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland.
The Large Hadron Collider: 10 years and counting | CERN
WEBTen years ago, on 10 September 2008, two yellow dots on a screen signalled the first time that protons had circulated CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), marking the end of years of design and construction. It was also a moment when the wider world switched on to particle physics. The spectacle of a bunch of subatomic particles making its way around …

WEBJun 17, 1994 · The Development of the Project Geneva, 17 June 1994. As early as 1977, during preparatory discussions for building CERN1's Large Electron Positron collider (LEP), it was clear that excavating the LEP tunnel would make more economic sense if it could be reused for a successor machine. Thus, while LEP was being designed and built …

How an accelerator works | CERN
WEBThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerates and collides protons, and also heavy lead ions. One might expect the LHC to require a large source of particles, but protons for beams in 27-kilometre ring come from a single bottle of hydrogen gas, replaced only twice per year to ensure that it is running at the correct pressure.
LHCb | CERN
WEBThe Large Hadron Collider beauty (LHCb) experiment specializes in investigating the slight differences between matter and antimatter by studying a type of particle called the "beauty quark", or "b quark". Instead of surrounding the entire collision point with an enclosed detector as do ATLAS and CMS, the LHCb experiment uses a series of …
CERN - The Large Hadron Collider
WEBThe Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from ...
