Larger hadron Collider(LHC)


The Larger Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by the physicists to study the smallest known particles - the fundamental building blocks of all the things. It will revolutionize our understanding, from the minuscule worlds deep within atoms to the vastness of the universe.

Two beams of subatomic particles called 'hardons' - either protons or lead ions - will travel in opposite direction inside the circular accelerator, Gaining energy with every lap, Physicists will use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Bing Bang , by colliding the two beams head - on at very high energy,Term of physicists from around the world will analyze the particles created in the collision suing special detectors in a number of experiments dedicated to the LHC.


There are many theories as to what will result from the collisions, but what's for sure is that brave new world of physics will emerge from the new accelerator, as knowledge in a particle physics goes on to describe the working of the universe. For decades, the standard model of the particle physics has served physicists well as a mean of understanding the fundamental laws of Nature, But it does not tell the whole story. Only data using the higher energies reached by the LHC can push knowledge forward, Challenging those who dare to dream beyond the paradigm.
