LHC for Students
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and ATLAS detector: - The LHC is a large particle accelerator that collides beams of protons around a 4.3km ring to study particle physics. - ATLAS is one of the main detectors at the LHC, measuring 46m long and weighing 7,000 tonnes. - The LHC and ATLAS involve thousands of physicists from 34 countries and will collect 1 petabyte of collision data per year over 10 years of operation to study rare particles like the top quark.
