How huge experiments search for tiny particles.
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the largest and most powerful particle accelerator in the world. The 27-km machine collides protons and heavy nuclei in the middle of large, complex detectors. These detectors measure high-energy particles flying away from each collision, producing valuable data for new physics searches. This presentation will give you a peek inside the Large Hadron Collider collider and experiments conducted there. You will also learn about how they work and how physicists can use the data to identify and study new particles like the Higgs boson.
