UNL Involvement in Large Hadron Collider Startup
The first particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland, took place Nov. 23 and the high-energy physics team at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is already at work analyzing data.
The LHC, a particle accelerator nearly 17 miles in circumference that spans the border between Switzerland and France, is designed to study the building blocks of all matter. Two beams of subatomic particles called "hadrons" -- either protons or lead ions -- travel in opposite directions inside the circular accelerator, gaining energy with every lap. Physicists will use the LHC to recreate the conditions just after the Big Bang, by colliding the two beams head-on at very high energy. more...
