Nov 28, 2010 · 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 …

Accelerators CERN hosts a gigantic complex of particle accelerators. But what are these machines and how do they work?

How an accelerator works Electric fields and radiofrequency cavities accelerate particles inside accelerators, while powerful magnets focus or steer the particle beams Accelerators were …

In the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the last element in this chain – particle beams are accelerated up to the record energy of 6.8 TeV per beam. Linear accelerator 4 (Linac4) …

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 …

What is the LHC? 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 …

On Friday 5 April, at 6.25 p.m., the LHC Engineer-in-Charge at the CERN Control Centre (CCC) announced that stable beams were back in the Large Hadron Collider, marking the official start …

The accelerator complex at CERN is a succession of machines that accelerate particles to increasingly higher energies. Each machine boosts the energy of a beam of particles, before …
