The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider located at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. Built between 1998 and 2008 by over 10,000 scientists and engineers from over 100 countries, the LHC lies in a 27-kilometer tunnel up to 175 meters underground. Physicists use the LHC to study the collisions of beams of hadrons (protons and heavy ions) circulating at nearly the speed of light to investigate fundamental questions in physics, such as the Higgs mechanism, supersymmetry, extra dimensions, and dark matter. The LHC led to the 2012 discovery of the Higgs boson and continues making new discoveries through high-energy collisions analyzed using detectors like AT
