LHC

LHC

1. what is ?

   • is the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator

2. How it functions?

   • Inside the accelerator, two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light before they are made to collide
   • The beams travel in opposite directions in separate beam pipes – two tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum
   • They are guided around the accelerator ring by a strong magnetic field maintained by superconducting electromagnets.

3. What is the mission of the LHC

   • unite people from all over the world to push the frontiers of science and technology, for the benefit of all.
   • perform world-class research in fundamental physics
   • helps to uncover what the universe is made of and how it works. We do this by providing a unique range of particle accelerator facilities to researchers, to advance the boundaries of human knowledge

4. The company is CERN'S
