From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (French: Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire), known as CERN (see History), pronounced /ˈsɜrn/ (French pronunciation: [sɛʀn]), is the world's largest particle physics laboratory, situated in the northwest suburbs of Geneva on the Franco–Swiss border, established in 1954. The organization has twenty European member states, and is currently the workplace of approximately 2,600 full-time employees, as well as some 7,931 scientists and engineers (representing 580 universities and research facilities and 80 nationalities). CERN's main function is to provide the particle accelerators and other infrastructure needed for high-energy physics research. Numerous experiments have been constructed at CERN by international collaborations to make use of them. It is also noted for being the birthplace of the World Wide Web. The main site at Meyrin also has a large computer centre containing very powerful data processing facilities primarily for experimental data analysis, and because of the need to make them available to researchers elsewhere, has historically been (and continues to be) a major wide area networking hub. As an international facility, the CERN sites are officially under neither Swiss nor French jurisdiction. Member states' contributions to CERN for the year 2008 totalled CHF 1 billion (approximately € 664 million). From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License What would happen if CERN's LHC project is a failure? Q. Yeah, I've been running through some videos on YouTube about the end of the world and all that when I stumbled upon the one about CERN's Large Hadron Collider or LHC. Many people are against it, and I don't know why. Could someone explain to me how LHC works and what it would do? Asked by Chatter - Sat Nov 1 11:56:34 2008 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments A. If the Large Hadron Collider is a failure, then thousands of scientists around the world will be extremely upset and millions of dollars will be have wasted. The Large Hadron Collider is the largest scientific instrument in the world. When it is turned on, it will accelerate particles to 99.9% the speed of light at energies of 7 tetraelectronvolts and then they will collide in the hearts of detectors. We hope we will see: - The Higgs Boson - What happened to antimatter - What dark matter/energy is It absolutely will NOT create a black hole - if it did, it would violate quite a few well-established laws of physics. It is hogwash invented by uninformed people. Don't worry. In the sources are some fantastic videos that show what the LHC… [cont.] Answered by MEDICAL DOG - Sat Nov 1 15:24:42 2008 How Many Particles Have Been Discovered At CERN? Q. I need to find uot for my homework for A Level Physics, but cannot find it anywhere on the internet. This is my last resort! I am not a slakcer as I have already written over 1 and a half pages about the detectors at CERN and the experiments they did. A list of the particles would be most helpful Thanks in advance Tom G Asked by LEGS - Mon Aug 25 06:35:31 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. According to Wikipedia, ' Several important achievements in particle physics have been made during experiments at CERN. These include, but are not limited to, the following. 1973: The discovery of neutral currents in the Gargamelle bubble chamber. 1983: The discovery of W and Z bosons in the UA1 and UA2 experiments. 1989: The determination of the number of neutrino families at the Large Electron Positron Collider (LEP) operating on the Z boson peak. 1995: The first creation of antihydrogen atoms in the PS210 experiment. 1999: The discovery of the direct CP-violation in the NA48 experiment. The 1984 Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Carlo Rubbia and Simon van der Meer for the developments that led to the discoveries of the W… [cont.] Answered by . - Mon Aug 25 07:07:50 2008 When is CERN going to start their big bang experiment?
