Know About the Large Hadron Collider with Raj Tech Blog
The biggest machine made by man is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). It is a particle accelerator occupying an enormous circular tunnel some 17 miles (27 km) in circumference and it ranges from 165 to 575 feet (50-175 m) below ground. The Large Hadron Collider is situated near Geneva City in Switzerland. It is so large that throughout its circumference. The Large Hadron Collider crosses the France-Switzerland border four times.
The tunnel was initially built for another particle accelerator between 1983 and 1988, housing the Large Electron-Positron Collider until it ceased operations in 2000. The decision to replace it with the LHC came in 1995, and the LHC was finally switched on in September 2008. As the most powerful particle accelerator ever created, the LHC is designed to challenge the limits of the Standard Model. That addresses the fundamental subatomic particles.
The LHC uses powerful magnets to speed up protons to nearly the speed of light. And that allows them to complete a circuit in less than 90 millionths of a second. Two beams travel in opposite directions around the ring and intersect at four points, where protons collide with enormous energy. These collisions are observed by super-sensitive instruments and collisions aim to create numerous new particles.
The replicating conditions are theorized to have existed just after the Big Bang. Some scientists hope these experiments will reveal the Higgs Boson, often called the “God Particle,” which might be responsible for giving particles their mass.
The world’s largest superconducting solenoid magnet is at the heart of the LHC.
