L.H.C.

L.H.C. is the Large Hadrons Collider, world’s largest and highest particle accelerator complex. This is the most significant scientific experiment ever done by human being. The main aim of this experiment is to reveal more secrets and to unlock various mysteries of our lives and it first light. This is a giant setup where hadrons were made to collide each other in opposite direction in order to practically perform the BIG BANG setup in a controlled environment. First let me tell what a hadron means. Hadrons are the sub atomic particles. To be more precise, they are the particles found inside a nucleus. Now your guess is right, hadrons are the protons and neutrons found inside the nucleus of an atom. In L.H.C., the hadrons were made to oscillate under high electric and magnetic field. These fields are used to collimate the subatomic particles inside the 27 kilometer oscillating chamber, located 300 meters below the earth’s surface. The hadrons were made to gain a huge momentum with these fields, which makes each particle to complete about 11 revolutions inside the tube per second, which is more than 99.9999 percent the speed of light. The most significant feature of this experiment is, it involved the world’s biggest superconductor and also world’s lowest temperature is achieved by this superconductor in order to cool this entire setup during the process. After some great researches and hard work for more than 2 decade, the primitive stage of the experiment was conducted on 10^th September 2008, underneath the Franco-Swiss border between the Jura Mountains and Alps near Geneva, Switzerland. Scientists predicts that it may take around 6 to 8 weeks for the first collision of these subatomic particles and around millions of computers will be employed to study the collision through six different detectors. The total value of this project is around 3.2 to 6.4 billions Euros. Thus, in order to unveil the secrets of matter, this experiment is conducted, which is also a great contribution to the particle physics.
