ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at the headquarters of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) near Geneva, Switzerland. This new atom smasher, the result of more than eighteen years of research, design and construction is a 7000 tonne behemoth of metal, glass, plastic, cables and computer chips, with 27km of underground tunnels and thousands of magnets operating at below minus 270 Celsius that produces particles for ATLAS to observe....
More DescriptionATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at the headquarters of CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) near Geneva, Switzerland. This new atom smasher, the result of more than eighteen years of research, design and construction is a 7000 tonne behemoth of metal, glass, plastic, cables and computer chips, with 27km of underground tunnels and thousands of magnets operating at below minus 270 Celsius that produces particles for ATLAS to observe. Protons, travelling at nearly the speed of light, collide within the heart of ATLAS, sending out showers of debris to recreate 30 million times a second the conditions that existed millionths of a second after the Big Bang, the event that many physicists believe set our universe in motion.
