LHC experiments

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a huge particle accelerator located near Geneva, Switzerland. It smashes protons together at nearly the speed of light to recreate conditions similar to those just after the Big Bang. Scientists conduct experiments to study fundamental particles, including the Higgs boson, which gives mass to other particles. By analyzing the results, researchers aim to deepen our understanding of the universe, including its origins, composition, and forces. The LHC helps answer profound questions in physics and could reveal new particles or forces beyond our current knowledge.
