Can this Chinese super machine

China is planning to build a particle accelerator with a length of about 54km - twice as long and 7 times as powerful as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) located in Switzerland.

It is known that this project is causing many people to worry because of its huge design. In an interview with the Daily Galaxy, the astronomer named Martin Rees said that "is it possible that China's accelerator could create a" scale that covers itself "? !

However, Wang Yifang, director of the Advanced Institute of Advanced Physics, reassured him of this possibility.

'The LHC is reaching its energy threshold. Currently, rapid energy acceleration with the LHC's base seems impossible , 'Yifang said.

'The technical direction we choose with the new accelerator is different from the LHC. While the LHC is designed to let protons collide, China's accelerators will produce Higgs and many other particles. '

It is known that China's huge accelerator is expected to be built at the starting point of. The project will start before 2021 and is ready for operation by 2055.

LHC is built by CERN. The LHC is contained in a 27 km circumference tunnel, at a depth of 175 m above the ground, in an area near Geneva, Switzerland. This place is designed to perform direct collision experiments between protons. The radiation generated from the operation of this giant laboratory will not cause any danger, as it is designed with thick layers of barrier stone.
