LHC is the world's most powerful particle accelerator, having a circumference of 27km, buried 100m deep underground in the French-Swiss border area.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC for short) is the largest modern particle accelerator and provides the most powerful acceleration in the world.
Large particle accelerator made by the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN), .
. beneath the ground at the French-Swiss border between the Jura mountains and the Alps near Geneva, Switzerland.
The machine is contained in a circle tunnel with a circumference of 27km, located at a depth of 50 to 175m below the ground.
The tunnel diameter is 3.8m, with a concrete structure, built between 1983 and 1988, originally used as a place to build the Large Electron-Positron Collider.
The tunnel has 4 points running across the French-Swiss border, with most of it lying on France. On the surface of the building, there are many supporting devices such as compressors, blowers, electronic control devices and cooling devices.
The LHC-containing tunnel has two parallel beam paths, intersecting at four points, each containing a proton beam, circulating around the circle from two opposite directions.
There are 1,232 bipolar magnets that keep the rays in the right circle, plus 392 quadrupole magnets are used to keep the rays converging, to make the chance of particle collisions at 4 intersections high. Best.
In total, there are over 1,600 superconducting magnets equipped, with the heaviest one reaching more than 27 tons.
About 96 tons of liquid helium is needed to keep the magnets operating at 1.9 degrees K, making the LHC the world's largest supercooled device with liquid helium temperatures.
LHC is designed to create a direct collision between proton rays (one of the fundamental particles) with great kinetic energy.
The main purpose of the LHC is to break the limits and defaults of the standard model, the current basic theories of particle physics.
In theory, this machine is supposed to prove the existence of the Higgs.
The research results from this machine can demonstrate pre-predictions as well as the missing links in the standard model, and explain how other elementary particles get properties like mass. .
The LHC project is provided with funding and fabrication with the participation of more than 8,000 physicists from 15 countries as well as hundreds of universities and laboratories.
The first particles of particles were introduced into the machine on September 10, 2008, and had to wait about 6 to 8 weeks before the first major energy collisions were made.
Although the media or even the courts have a lot of questions about the safety of the LHC, the scientists all agree that the particle collision experiments of this machine will not pose a danger. Come on.
