  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. Particle accelerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_accelerator

    The LHC is a proton collider, and currently the world's largest and highest-energy accelerator, achieving 6.5 TeV energy per beam (13 TeV in total). The aborted Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) in Texas would have had a circumference of 87 km. Construction was started in 1991, but abandoned in 1993. Very large circular accelerators are ...

  5. Superconducting Super Collider - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_Super_Collider

    The Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) (also nicknamed the "Desertron"[2]) was a particle accelerator complex under construction in the vicinity of Waxahachie, Texas, United States. Its planned ring circumference was 87.1 kilometers (54.1 mi) with an energy of 20 TeV per proton and was designed to be the world's largest and most energetic ...

  6. Tevatron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tevatron

    The Tevatron was a circular particle accelerator (active until 2011) in the United States, at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (called Fermilab), east of Batavia, Illinois, and was the highest energy particle collider until the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) was built near Geneva, Switzerland.

  7. List of Large Hadron Collider experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Large_Hadron...

    This is a list of experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The LHC is the most energetic particle collider in the world, and is used to test the accuracy of the Standard Model, and to look for physics beyond the Standard Model such as supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and others.

  8. 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 .

  9. 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 ...
