Cern - Research Center

A model of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel is seen in the CERN (European Organization For Nuclear Research) visitors' center on June 16, 2008 in Geneva-Meyrin, Switzerland. CERN is building the world's biggest and most powerful particle accelerator. The LHC is being installed in a tunnel 27 km in circumference, buried 50 - 150 m below ground. It will provide collisions at the highest energies ever observed in laboratory conditions. Four huge detectors -ALICE, ATLAS, CMS and LHCB- will observe the collisions so that the physicists can explore new territory in matter, energy, space and time.

Outside view of Point 5 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), part of the CERN (European Organization For Nuclear Research) research center, seen on June 16, 2008 in Cessy near Geneva, Switzerland. The LHC is being installed in a tunnel 27 km in circumference, buried 50 - 150 m below ground. Point 5 covers the heavy CMS detector, weighing more than the Eiffel Tower. The CMS experiment will seek to understand fundamental phenomena that still remain a mystery, such as the origin of mass or the explanation for the dark matter in the Universe.
