Located in a huge underground tunnel near Geneva, Switzerland, the LHC is overseen by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) in collaboration with scientists in over 100 countries. There are six main experiments that data collection at the LHC will service—each of which will address a different question about particle physics, Lecompte said...
...Nature is infinitely resourceful,” wrote James D. Wells, a member of the CERN theory group, in a recent e-mail from England, “and will keep us very busy no matter what surprises the LHC reveals...
It’s rare for physics to make the news, but somehow the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a particle accelerator run by the CERN laboratory on the Franco-Swiss border, became a bona-fide celebrity. There hasn’t been a tube this famous since the London subway. The collider’s renown is likely because most of the news about it has been bizarre: The Wall Street Journal ran an article about physicists there studying with a comedy coach to help them think creatively. A rap about the collider reached three million views on YouTube. Rumors...
...With all the American scientists working at the LHC, it’s true that we can benefit somewhat from the discoveries made at CERN without having to foot the bill. But we risk losing our leadership role in science and technology if we continue to let similar landmark projects be completed elsewhere. As President Clinton wrote in 1993 in a vain attempt to stop the cancellation of SSC, “the United States is compromising its position of leadership in basic science - a position unquestioned for generations.” In the time since then, we have also...
...spend a lot of time in a hardhat down inside of the thing, connecting cables, making sure things are done correctly, that kind of stuff,” said da Costa, currently on site at CERN...
