The Large Hadron Collider, also known as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is a collision-type particle accelerator located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, outside Geneva, Switzerland. It is an international For research purposes in high energy physics. The LHC has been built and began trial operation on September 10, 2008. It has successfully maintained two proton beams in orbit, making it the world's largest particle accelerator facility. The LHC is expected to start low-energy collision experiments on October 21, 2008. The LHC is an international cooperation project, funded and built by more than 8,000 physicists from universities and research institutions in 85 countries around the world. CERN announced on March 23, 2010 that the Large Hadron Collider will conduct the highest-energy proton flow collision test to date next week to simulate the initial state of the universe after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago. CERN issued a communiqué on the same day saying that the collision test of two proton beams with a total energy of up to 7 trillion electron volts will be carried out on the 30th, and it will take several hours or even days to complete the collision. Since the 19th, the two proton beams in the Large Hadron Collider have been accelerated to 3.5 trillion electron volts respectively, breaking the record of 1.18 trillion electron volts set by the center in November 2009.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a particle accelerator and collider located at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in the suburbs of Geneva, Switzerland. It is used for international high-energy physics research. (Global positioning point: 46 degrees 14 minutes 00 seconds north latitude, 6 degrees 03 minutes 00 seconds east longitude 46.233333333333; 6.05) LHC construction was completed and began operation at 15:30 pm Beijing time on September 10, 2008, becoming the largest in the world Particle accelerator facility. The LHC is an international cooperation project, jointly funded and built by universities and laboratories belonging to more than 2,000 physicists in 34 countries.
