Enormous machines for tiny particles: an inside look at the LHC accelerator and its experiments.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN—the most powerful particle accelerator ever constructed—is designed to circulate intense beams of particles around its 27-kilometer ring at speeds approaching that of light.
This lecture offers a glimpse inside the LHC and its experiments, explains how the various detector layers operate, and illustrates how physicists analyze the resulting data to discover and measure new particles, including the Higgs boson.
