 Test the predictions of particle physics
 Test the high-energy physics theories
 Recreatethe conditions of BIG BANG
Objective
Principle
 Hadron are subatomic
composite particle held together
by strong electromagnetic force
 Collider is a particle
accelerator with two directed
beams, accelerated to a very
high kinetic energies to produce
high energy collisions

Design
5
 Collider has four crossing points
 7 detectors positioned , each designed
for different research
 Two particle beams travel at speed of
light to collide
 Tubes kept at ultrahigh vacuum
Design (Continued)
 Guided by a strong magnetic field
by electromagnets
 Accelerator is surrounded by liquid
helium, which cool the magnets
 Detectors give 3-D images of sub-
atomic particles
 Traces are closely analysed

Goals of LHC
 Origin of mass?
 Discover evidence for super-symmetry?
 What are dark matter and dark energy?
 Why is there far more ‘Matter’ than ’Anti-matter’ in the universe?
 How quark-gluon give rise to particles that constitute matter of Universe?
8
Then what is GODs particle?
 Physicist Leon Lederman referred Higgs Particle as "Goddamn Particle”
 Was supposed to be the title of Lederman's book
 His publishers changed it to "The God Particle“
 Intrestingly, believed that God created Universe & Universe is made of Higgs particles
 So Higgs Boson or Higgs particles caught attention as “God Particle”

Interesting Facts:
 10, 000 Scientists & Engineers working from every continent, except Antarctica,
where are from India only
 175mts underground, on border of France and Switzerland near
 CERN site draws roughly MW of electrical power
 Beams accelerated in more than 99.99 % of the speed
of light

Interesting Facts(Continued):
 Total construction cost of about $6.27 billion (INR )
 Each proton travels km, more than 11,000 times a sec
 Generates Terabytes of data
 Generates 14 Tera-electron Volts (TeV)
