The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is
an accelerator which will bring protons into head-on collision at higher energies (14 TeV)
than ever achieved before to allow scientists to penetrate still further into the
structure of matter and recreate the conditions prevailing in the Universe just 10-12
seconds after the "Big Bang" when the temperature was 1016 degrees.
Four experiments have been approved for the LHC: |
||
ATLAS | (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) | |
CMS | (The Compact Muon Solenoid) | |
ALICE | (ALICE Large Ion Collider Experiment) | |
LHCb | (Study of CP violation in B-meson decays at LHC) |
