Collider Detector at Fermilab

The Collider Detector at Fermilab is a sophisticated scientific instrument used to study fundamental particles by observing high-energy collisions of particles produced in a particle accelerator. When particles like protons or antiprotons are accelerated to nearly the speed of light and smashed together, they reveal insights into the basic building blocks of matter and the forces governing them. The detector surrounds the collision point, capturing detailed data about the resulting particle interactions, helping scientists understand the universe at its smallest scales.
