  2. Large Hadron Collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_Hadron_Collider

    Large Hadron Collider. Near Geneva, Switzerland; across the border of France and Switzerland. Plan of the LHC experiments and the preaccelerators. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. [1][2] It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in ...

  3. ATLAS experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATLAS_experiment

    ATLAS is designed to detect these particles, namely their masses, momentum, energies, lifetime, charges, and nuclear spins. Experiments at earlier colliders, such as the Tevatron and Large Electron–Positron Collider, were also designed for general-purpose detection.

  4. ALICE experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALICE_experiment

    ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is one of nine detector experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The experiment is designed to study the conditions that are thought to have existed immediately after the Big Bang by measuring properties of quark-gluon plasma.

  5. Hadron collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadron_Collider

    A hadron collider is a very large particle accelerator built to test the predictions of various theories in particle physics, high-energy physics or nuclear physics by colliding hadrons. A hadron collider uses tunnels to accelerate, store, and collide two particle beams .

  6. Higgs boson - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson

    Parity. +1 [7][8] The Higgs boson, sometimes called the Higgs particle, [9][10] is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics produced by the quantum excitation of the Higgs field, [11][12] one of the fields in particle physics theory. [12] In the Standard Model, the Higgs particle is a massive scalar boson with zero spin ...

  7. Particle Fever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_Fever

    Particle Fever is a 2013 American documentary film tracking the first round of experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland.The film follows the experimental physicists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research who run the experiments, as well as the theoretical physicists who attempt to provide a conceptual framework for the LHC's results.

  8. LHCb experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LHCb_experiment

    The LHCb (Large Hadron Collider beauty) experiment is a particle physics detector experiment collecting data at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. [1] LHCb is a specialized b-physics experiment, designed primarily to measure the parameters of CP violation in the interactions of b- hadrons (heavy particles containing a bottom quark).

  9. Compact Muon Solenoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Muon_Solenoid

    The ladder to the lower right gives an impression of scale. The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment is one of two large general-purpose particle physics detectors built on the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN in Switzerland and France. The goal of the CMS experiment is to investigate a wide range of physics, including the search for the ...
