The powerful particle accelerator is equivalent to 10 million lightning strikes

International scientists are building a powerful new particle accelerator located in a circular tunnel with a circumference of 80-100km.

More than 500 scientists around the world gathered in Berlin, Germany, this week to work together to develop and develop a new particle accelerator that is 3 times larger and 7 times more powerful than a particle accelerator. Large (LHC) by the European Nuclear Research Organization (CERN), Futurism on June 12 reported.

New particle accelerators are expected to be built and developed for decades. This is the LHC 2.0 version called the Future Circle Accelerator (FCC). Scientists hope the FCC will open a new era in physical research.

The LHC is located in a circular tunnel with a circumference of 27km on the border between France and Switzerland. It is designed to perform many frontal collision experiments at high speeds between protons. The FCC will be built right next to the LHC, with a circular tunnel circumference of up to 80-100km.

The FCC has twice as powerful magnets as the LHC, capable of causing collisions of particles to collide with 100 trillion electron Volt (eV), equivalent to the particle acceleration of 10 million. lightning strike.

The FCC promises to help scientists discover more new mysterious particles that are even heavier than the Higgs boson, the fundamental particle that underlies our understanding of the natural law discovered by LHC in 2012. .

LHC will be significantly upgraded in the mid-2020s, allowing increased speed of collisions and the accuracy of measurements. After upgrading, it will be renamed to Large Advanced Brightness Grain Accelerator (HL-LHC).

In early 2017, physicists working with LHC announced the discovery of five new subatomic particles. They are one of the different types of Omega-c baryon seeds. This finding sheds light on the operation of a strong interaction force, which binds elements inside atoms.
