  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. Katherine McAlpine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_McAlpine

    The YouTube video is a technically accurate but simplified introduction to the Large Hadron Collider operated by CERN. The video explains its purpose, methods and significance using rap lyrics, created by McAlpine mostly during her commutes on buses and trams to and from work. [9] The video appeared on July 28, 2008, its music was written by ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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 .

  8. High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Luminosity_Large...

    High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC; formerly referred to as HiLumi LHC, Super LHC, and SLHC) is an upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider, operated by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), located at the French-Swiss border near Geneva. From 2011 to 2020, the project was led ...

  9. 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).
