The world’s largest particle physics laboratory is under construction on the border between Switzerland and France. At the heart is the Large Hadron Collider Particle Accelerator being built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). Its members hope it will reveal secrets of the universe and its formation. The goal of the project is to discover the origin of matter by replicating conditions just after “the big bang.” Twenty nations and international bodies make up CERN. Last April, scientists and journalists gathered at its Swiss headquarters, as the last of 1700 huge magnets was lowered into the Large Hadron Collider or LHC. CERN Director General Robert Aymar said, “It is an enormous task, with very tricky logistics, because the tunnel is very narrow, and when we move the magnets in nobody can be in the way.” The particle accelerator and collider is a 27 kilometer tunnel, about 100 meters underground. CERN spokesman James Gillies describes the accelerator. “This is a discovery machine. It’s built to make discoveries and is going to tell us lots of new things about the universe.” If all goes as planned, subatomic particles will be accelerated around the tunnel next year, eventually approach light speed, and smash into one another. Gillies adds, “To me the most exciting thing is that we know an awful lot about a small amount of the universe. We understand the stars, the galaxies, the stuff which makes up you and me, but we also know from cosmology that is …

One of the Universe’s open questions maybe a step closer to be answered thanks to over 30 atoms of antihydrogen that have been trapped and stored by scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, Cern. According to a written statement, this opens the path to new ways of making detailed measurements of antihydrogen, which will allow scientists to compare matter and antimatter, the latter being what annihilates ordinary matter in a single explosive flash of energy.

CERN News: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) sets collision record – new era in the history of particle physics. Spotlight on CERN – LHC First Physics — On March 30th 2010, first high-energy collisions took place at 7 TeV in the LHC, creating a phenomenal quantity of data. This not only marked the start of a new era for particle physics but also presents an enormous challenge in the field of computing, in terms of data transfer, storage and processing. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and highest-energy particle accelerator, a synchrotron intended to collide opposing particle beams of either protons at an energy of 7 trillion electronvolts (1.12 microjoules) per particle, or lead nuclei at an energy of 574 TeV (92.0 µJ) per nucleus. The term hadron refers to particles composed of quarks. It is expected that it will address the most fundamental questions of physics, advancing our understanding of the deepest laws of nature. The LHC lies in a tunnel 27 kilometres (17 mi) in circumference, as much as 175 metres (574 ft) beneath the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland. The Large Hadron Collider was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) with the intention of testing various predictions of high-energy physics, including the existence of the hypothesized Higgs boson and of the large family of new particles predicted by …

A brief explanation of how the partical accelerator works, due to be switched on 10th september 2008. UPDATE, first test on low beam success, they will start colliding the protons in a few weeks, high beam to launch next year. NEW UPDATE, magnet busted, delayed for 2 months at a cost of millions!
