  Large Hadron Collider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Large Hadron Collider (short LHC) is a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN, near Geneva, Switzerland.
The LHC is funded and being built in collaboration with over two thousand physicists from 34 countries, universities and laboratories.
The LHC will collide hadrons (protons, to be exact) in the 27 km circumference tunnel previously used by the LEP, an electron-positron collider.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator which is being built at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, the world's largest particle physics laboratory.
But the LHC will not be limited to the study of proton-proton collisions as it can also collide heavy ions, such as lead, with a collision energy of 1148 TeV.
To bend the 7 TeV protons around the ring, the LHC dipoles must be able to produce magnetic fields of 8.36 Tesla, a value which is made possible by the use of "superconductivity".

However the LHC will not be limited to the study of proton-proton collisions, the LHC can also collide heavy ions, such as lead, to produce a total energy of 1148 TeV.
A large energy density can be obtained over a wide enough region in the collisions to cause phase transition of nuclear matter into quark-gluon plasma.
The building of the LHC and its detectors is a challenge to both European scientists and European industry.

 Large Hadron Collider Communication
The LHC is being installed in a tunnel 27 km in circumference, buried 50-175 m below ground.
Due to switch on in 2007, the LHC will provide collisions at the highest energies ever observed in laboratory conditions and physicists are eager to see what they will reveal.
If the LHC used ordinary “warm” magnets instead of superconductors, the ring would have to be at least 120 km in circumference to achieve the same collision energy.

The Large Hadron Collider (short LHC) is a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN.
It uses the 27 km circumference tunnel created for the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider.
In contrast to the previous it will collide protons (one type of hadron particle) instead of electrons and positrons.

 The Large Hadron Collider (LHC)
The LHC is now being constructed by CERN (The European Laboratory for Particle Physics) in the tunnel which currently houses the Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider on the outskirts of Geneva.
The LHC is an international endeavour with the UK being among over forty countries participating in the project.
In addition to colliding protons, the LHC will smash together ions of lead at speeds which will produce energy densities as high as in the first fraction of a second of the start of the Universe.

 The Large Hadron Collider: 'Cathedral' of the 21st Century
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), just one year from completion at CERN, will be the most powerful particle accelerator ever constructed, the largest and most technologically sophisticated machine ever built.
Hadrons are the general name for bosons (energy paricles) and fermions (quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top, with red green and blue colors) and leptons (mu, tau, electron, mu neutrino, tau neutrino, and electron neatrino, no color force))) these are, by the way, including the anti-particles of said particles.
This article is not about *what* the LHC is. The article is about *why* we are spending nearly $8 billion dollars, an immesurable amount of man-hours, and the genius of our scientists in a project that, for the layperson, has no immediate practical applications or benefits.

The Large Hadron Collider is a new higher energy particle accelerator which is planned to be built at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) in Geneva, Switzerland.
The LHC accelerator will have sufficient energy to enable physicists to study fundamental interactions of the kind that are thought to be responsible for giving particles mass.
The LHC will be built in the existing 27 kilometer tunnel used by the electron- positron collider LEP, which will be decommissioned in the year 2000.

The collider will initially operate at the lower luminosity providing an opportunity to study complex signatures such as tau-lepton interactions and heavy flavour tags from secondary vertices.
The LHC will then be run at the higher luminosity to provide a greater number of signatures of interesting events using electron, muon, jet, missing transverse energy measurements and b-tagging.
The LHC circumference is 27 km, making it the largest hadron collider ever constructed.

 Supersymmetry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
By the year 2007 the Large Hadron Collider at CERN should be ready for use, producing high-energy particle collisions that may be sufficient to reveal superpartner particles.
If the cutoff scale is low, then those nonrenormalizable terms should not be small, conflicting with precision electroweak experiments, which have set very low bounds on the possible size of such terms.
Despite these constraints, there are several models with new physics at the TeV scale that stabilize the mass of the Higgs boson but do not induce large nonrenormalizable terms at that scale.

THE LARGE HADRON COLLIDER (LHC) has received the endorsement of the European Committee for Future Accelerators as the best next step in particle physics for Europe.
LHC, which would be built in the tunnel of the existing LEP electron-positron collider at CERN, is designed to provide proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV per beam.
CERN Director General Carlo Rubbia has said that the LHC can be built sooner (by as early as 1998) and for far less money than the SSC and that its more intense beam will make up for the fact that its maximum energy is lower than SSC's 20 TeV per beam.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), currently under construction outside of Geneva, Switzerland, will simulate certain conditions that prevailed in the universe at the earliest moments of the "Big Bang." By causing protons to collide head on at extremely high energies, the LHC will help physicists better understand the basic structure and forces of nature.
Sited on both sides of the Franco-Swiss border west of Geneva, the LHC is an extraordinary new facility for investigating the basis structure of matter.
