Large Hadron Collider CERN, France

From series “Incredible Labs for Space and Physics Research”
The Large Hadron Collider has become one of the most mentioned technical systems in recent years. Its complex name is known to millions of people on our planet today. It is a unique charged particle accelerator. It allows for studying the properties of heavy ions and protons. This state-of-the-art detector allows dispersing elementary particles and then studies the features of their collisions.

Large Hadron Collider CERN, France The unique accelerator was also built by CERN specialists. It is located near Geneva, on the border of Switzerland and France. The large hadron Collider remains the largest experimental facility in the world since its completion. 10,000 of the best scientists from a hundred different countries of the world took part in its construction and formation. The scale of this scientific installation is incredibly large. The length of the main ring of the LHC is 26 659 meters.

One of the main tasks of the scientific installation is to study the theory of supersymmetry. According to this theory, every elementary particle has a paired superparticle. It has a more significant weight. Besides, the LHC serves to test many so-called "exotic models" of physics. The most unusual physical ideas and theories concerning the structure of the world belong to them. Special types of interaction of matter, innovative theories of gravity, the theory of the existence of miniature black holes – these are just some of the issues that modern science plans to solve through the Large Hadron Collider.
